INGREDIENTS
- 2 skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb/450g)
- 1 cup (250 ml) low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. onion powder
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup Hellmann’s® Spicy Mayonnaise Type Dressing
- 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt
- vegetable oil for frying
- 4 brioche rolls
- 12 slices pickle chips
- 1 cup (250 ml) shredded lettuce
METHOD
-
Place chicken breasts between layers of plastic wrap and evenly pound to 1/4-in. (6mm) thickness. Cut each piece in half.
-
Whisk together buttermilk and 4 Tbsp. (60 mL) of Hellmann’s® Spicy Mayonnaise Type Dressing in large bowl well blended. Fully submerge chicken pieces in mixture. Set aside.
-
In separate shallow bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, spices and salt until blended. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) of buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and gently mix with a fork to create a few shaggy clumps.
-
Pour vegetable oil in large high-sided heavy-duty skillet or pot until about ½-in. (1.5 cm) deep. Heat over medium-high heat until temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Dredge one piece of chicken at a time into flour mixture gently pressing, including any clumps, to form a thick crust.
-
Add chicken to hot oil and fry 3 minutes per side or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
-
To build the sandwiches, evenly divide remaining Mayonnaise on top and bottom buns; then top with fried chicken, pickles and lettuce. Enjoy!
