Fried Chicken Sandwiches With Waffle Fries Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, zest and paprika. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the mixture on all sides, rubbing the mixture into the chicken gently. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the top so that air can circulate around the chicken. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat a 10-inch, straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the oil so it comes 1 inch up the side. Heat the oil until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, remaining salt and the black pepper. Dredge each breast in the dry mixture, making sure each piece is covered well with the mixture. Place each piece of chicken in the hot oil, letting it fall away from you, as to not splash yourself with hot oil. Fry the chicken for 10 minutes on the first side. Gently flip each piece of chicken and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the oil and allow it to drain for 5 minutes on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• For the waffles: Preheat a standard waffle iron. With a whisk, mix together the waffle mix, 1 1/2 cups water, the vegetable oil and cinnamon until smooth. Lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle approximately 3/4 cup of the batter into the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the waffle to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve the chicken and waffles hot, with maple syrup and butter.

Steps:

• Whisk the buttermilk, hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture to a small bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the remaining buttermilk mixture; toss to coat and set aside.
• Bake the waffle fries as the label directs. Meanwhile, combine the cake flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Fry until golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set over a baking sheet to drain.
• Season the waffle fries with pepper. Divide the buttermilk mayonnaise among the roll bottoms. Top with lettuce, the chicken, pickles and the roll tops; serve with the waffle fries.

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness. Cut each breast in half and place in a bowl. Pour pickle brine on top and let sit for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, celery salt, and basil in a bowl.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in another bowl.
• Drain liquid from the chicken and rinse off briefly. Shake any excess liquid from chicken.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the egg-milk mixture, then coat again with the flour. Dip each piece again, if desired.
• Deep-fry chicken, 3 pieces at a time, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let chicken rest on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet for 5 minutes. While chicken is resting, lightly butter each sandwich bun and toast them in a skillet.
• Add 2 pickle slices to the bottom of each bun, then a chicken piece, then top with the other bun. Repeat to make remaining sandwiches.

Steps:

• Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat 2-inches of oil, over medium-high, to 320 degree F.
• Fill a large bowl with cold water. While oil heats, cut potatoes. Using a mandoline fitted with the "waffle" or "crinkle" attachment slice each potato 1/2 inch thick; rotating the potato 90 degrees after each slice to form the waffle pattern. Place slices in water as they're cut. Rinse potato slices with cold water to remove excess starch. Use paper towels dry potatoes thoroughly. Line two baking sheets with dry paper towels. Working in batches, fry potatoes until they are still pale in color and beginning to soften, about 5 minutes a batch, transfer fried potatoes to towel-lined baking sheets.
• Over high, heat oil up to 375 degree F Working in batches, Re-fry potatoes until they are crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to towel-lined baking sheets, season with salt. Serve hot.
