Description

Twice-fried chicken breasts are topped with a sriracha-mayo sauce and dill pickles in this quick and easy recipe for chicken sandwiches.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 egg
1/4 cup ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley®)
2 chicken breasts
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sriracha sauce
4 potato rolls
16 dill pickle chips

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place 1/2 cup flour in a small bowl.
3 Beat egg in a shallow bowl with a fork.
4 Place 1 cup flour in a bowl; mix in ranch dressing.
5 Split chicken breasts to create 4 pieces. Coat each piece with plain flour, dip in egg, and coat with flour-ranch mixture. Place on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
6 Heat oil in a large saucepan until almost boiling. Add 2 pieces chicken; fry until lightly golden, turning once, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the wire rack. Repeat with remaining 2 pieces chicken.
7 Bake chicken in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 10 minutes.
8 Mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl. Spread on rolls. Place 4 pickle slices on each roll. Place 1 piece of chicken on each sandwich.
