Spicy Chicken Sandwich

What's up foodies? Y'all doing good? You good? You good? I'm good! You good? Okay, good. I've been so busy the past few weeks between school and work, so I haven't had the time to record any videos or post any recipes. I have, however, been working on recipes and this one is one of them. I love the spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, it's what I get every time I go there. The other day I decided that I wanted to make one for dinner. While my recipe may not taste just like Wendy's, it's just ask good.

This is a very simple sandwich and it tastes so good. The combination of cayenne pepper, chipotle pepper, and hot sauce give the sanwich the perfect amount of heat. For my hot sauce, I like to use Franks Red Hot Sauce because of its bold flavor, but you can use any hot sauce your prefer. 

Ingredients:

- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 tsp. garlic powder

- 1 tsp. garlic salt

- 1 tsp. cayenne pepper

- 1/2 tsp. chipotle pepper

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 2/3 cups hot sauce (Franks Red Hot Preferred)

- 1 egg

- 2 cups all purpose flour

- Oil for frying

Wash the chicken in cold water and dry them with paper towel. If you have thick chicken breasts, cut them in half, lengthwise. In a small dish, mix the garlic powder, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, chipotle pepper, and black pepper together. Arrange the chicken breasts in a bowl or a dish and season both sides with half of the seasoning mixture.

 Mix together the hot sauce and the egg. Pour the hot sauce and egg mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure all sides are covered with hot sauce. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for one hour. After marinating the chicken remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. In a fry pan, pour enough oil so that it comes halfway up the pan.

 Set stove to a medium heat and bring to temperature. Mix the remaining seasoning and flour together in a dish. Batter each piece of chicken. Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the heat and place onto a paper towel line plate. 

Grab a bun, some lettuce and tomato and enjoy your sandwich. I mixed some of the Franks Red Hot sauce with some ranch dressing and spread the mixture over the buns.
