METHOD FOR HOT HONEY CHICKEN SANDWICHES
1. Remove excess fat and pound each chicken breast to about ¾ inch thick.
2. Coast each chicken breast with the batter, place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove chicken breasts from the refrigerator.
3. Coat each chicken breast with the seasoned flour.
4. Add oil to a 12” skillet and heat at medium high for 3 minutes.
5. Add coated chicken breast to the pan and cook approximately 3 minutes on each side until golden brown in color. You might have to do this in batches. Remove cooked chicken breasts and set on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Butter each bun and toast.
7. Assemble the chicken sandwiches. For each sandwich, on the bottom bun add a slice of pepper jack cheese, top with shredded lettuce, 4-5 pickle slices, 1 cooked chicken breast, 2 Tbsp. of Hot Honey Sauce, and finish with the top toasted bun spread with spicy mayo.
