Dill Chicken Sandwich Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Pound chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2" thickness so they cook more evenly.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Add Chicken, turning to coat then cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
• In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together breading ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, baking powder, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Remove a piece of chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off and dip chicken into flour mixture, pressing it on with your hands to coat well. Transfer to a wire rack.
• Heat 1 " oil in a soup pot or dutch oven to 350˚F. Just before frying chicken, dip it into the seasoned flour again for a thick and shaggy exterior.Add chicken, 2 pieces at a time for a smaller pot so you don't crowd and reduce the temperature of the oil too quickly.
• Place chicken into the oil one by one. Adjust the flame to keep the oil temperature at 300-325˚F. Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side or until browned and crisp then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the second side or until cooked through and chicken is browned and crisp all over.
• Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. The internal temperature will continue to rise as it rests. The final resting temperature of the chicken should reach 165˚F.
• Lightly butter and toast the cut sides of your buns and build your crispy chicken sandwiches with desired toppings.

In a large skillet or griddle, grill bread on both sides until golden brown. , Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon dill; spread on one side of grilled bread.

DILL CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. Pound each chicken breast to approximately 1/2 an inch thick before cutting each breast into 2 pieces. (You will then have 6 breasts total) Marinate the chicken breasts in dill pickle juice for one hour.
• 2. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl with a splash of milk to make the egg coating.
• 3. In another bowl, combine and mix the flour, powdered sugar, and other spices.
• 4. Pat the marinated chicken dry. Dip breasts in the egg wash, then dip in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
• 5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to just coat the bottom of the pan, until the oil is shimmering.
• 6. Fry each chicken breast for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until breading is golden and chicken is cooked through. Drain chicken on a paper towel-lined plate.
• 7. Butter both (inside cut) sides of hamburger buns and cook on griddle until golden brown. Place chicken on buns. Optional: Place a few dill pickle slices on top and/or serve with some honey mustard.

DILL CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Pull all the meat from the chicken. This should sum to about 4 cups or so.
• Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, celery and the mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly.
• Cover and shill overnight for flavors to meld.
• For sandwiches: Slice croissants in half to form top and bottom. Spread a bit of mayo on the bottom half. Place about 1/2 leaf of lettuce on the mayo. Place two scoops, side-by-side (about 1/4 cup each) on top of the lettuce. Place a tomato slice ( I prefer about 1/4 inch thick) on top of each mound of chicken salad (should be two slices per croissant). Cut in half, pick through to hold it in place and plate.

PICKLE-BRINED FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Add the chicken thighs and 1/2 cup pickle brine to a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally to marinate evenly.
• While the chicken marinates, prepare the pickle mayonnaise: Finely chop 8 dill pickle coins. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, capers and chopped pickles; season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• When ready to cook the chicken, pour the buttermilk into a wide shallow bowl. In a separate wide shallow bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder and 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper; whisk to combine.
• In a large Dutch oven or deep cast-iron skillet, add 2 inches of oil and, over medium-high, heat to 325 degrees, about 5 minutes.
• Working with one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the brine, transfer to the buttermilk and turn to coat. Lift chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess liquid to drip off, then add it to the flour mixture and turn to coat, patting extra flour mixture on top to ensure the chicken is well coated on all surfaces. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Working in two batches, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook, turning every 1 to 2 minutes, until crust is deep golden and chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool and season with salt and pepper. (An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the thigh should read at least 165 degrees.) Repeat with the remaining chicken, adjusting the heat to ensure that the oil maintains a temperature of 325 degrees.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, preferably nonstick, skillet over medium. Add 2 buns, split-side down, and cook until warmed and toasted, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and buns.
• Make the coleslaw by tossing the cabbage with half of the pickle mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining pickle mayonnaise on the bottom of the buns and top with the chicken, red onion, remaining pickles and coleslaw. Serve with hot sauce, if using.
