How to Make Spicy Chicken Sandwich?
- Combine buttermilk, sriracha, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor).
- Mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne powder in a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the marinade for extra crunch in the coating.
- Take the marinated chicken and coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure even coverage. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet to 325˚F (165˚C). Fry chicken pieces for about 3–4 minutes on each side, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
- Mix mayonnaise and sriracha to make the spicy mayo. Spread it generously on both sides of the toasted burger buns.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering the fried chicken on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles, or any favorite toppings. Finish with the top bun. Serve fresh and enjoy!
Review
As per my observation, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich is a spicy version of the KFC Chicken Sandwich. This sandwich is a bit more spicy than the chicken sandwich because it contains spicy sauce rather than the Colonel’s Mayo.
However, if I talk about its packaging, it comes in portable packaging that keeps it warm and fresh for a long time. Taste-wise, in my view, it provides a tender and spicy taste with a crunchy feel.
You can also enjoy it with any of your favorite cold drinks to reduce its spiciness. However, it also provides a reasonable amount of energy and comes at an affordable price. Besides this, it also has some allergens such as wheat, gluten, egg, sesame, etc, so must check the allergens report before eating it.
