[Homemade] XL Fried Chicken Sandwich

Butter toasted buns, homemade bread and butter pickles, chicken breast cut in half seasoned and soaked in buttermilk for 24 hours. Then I pull it out and pat it off a little, flour mix is flour, salt, black pepper, white pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper. Split the dry seasoning mix into 3 bowls. The middle bowl gets a can of carbonated water whisked into a batter, no eggs needed. The chicken goes into the first dry mix and I press it in, then into the batter to fully coat and let the excess dip off. Then into the last dry mix and I really push it in and kinda crunch it up for that texture making sure every spot is covered, set them on a wire rack over a sheet pan. I deep fry each piece one at a time in peanut oil at 350 until golden brown. While that’s going buns are buttered and browned, pickles and mayo ready. The chicken comes out and gets hit with flake salt while hot. Then build it however you want. I built it how we like it. 😃👋
