Prepare the Seasoned Coating<\/h3>\n<p>In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Coat the Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Press the chicken firmly into the seasoned flour mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. For an extra-crispy crust, dip the chicken back into the egg mixture and coat it again with the flour mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Let the coated chicken rest for 5 minutes before frying to help the breading adhere.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Fry Until Golden and Crispy<\/h3>\n<p>Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Carefully add the chicken cutlets, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.<\/p>\n<p>Fry for approximately 4\u20136 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil and preserve its crispiness.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Make the Spicy Mayonnaise<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with your preferred amount of hot sauce until creamy and well combined. Adjust the heat to your taste.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Assemble the Sandwiches<\/h3>\n<p>Lightly toast the brioche buns. Spread spicy mayonnaise over the cut sides of each bun.<\/p>\n<p>Layer the bottom buns with fresh lettuce, a crispy chicken cutlet, and pickle slices. Add the top buns and serve immediately while the chicken is hot and crunchy.<\/p>\n<h2>Harold&#8217;s Tip<\/h2>\n<p>Let the coated chicken rest for 5 minutes before frying. This simple step helps the breading stick to the chicken, giving you a crispier, more even coating.<\/p>\n<h2>Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>Serve these crispy chicken sandwiches with French fries, coleslaw, potato wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious Southern-inspired meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich Enjoy the ultimate Southern-style fried chicken sandwich featuring juicy chicken breasts coated in a perfectly&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8125"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8125\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8127,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8125\/revisions\/8127"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
