Sara Lee round deli sandwich buns (big) Tyson boneless chicken breasts 3 Breading Mix: 2 cups all purpose flour 5 tbls. powdered sugar 1 tsp. pepper 3 tbls. kosher salt Marinating Liquid: 2 large eggs beaten with whisk 1 and 1/2 cup milk Deep Fryer: 3 cups peanut or veg. oil Use 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts removed from freezer to fridge. The next day while they are partially still frozen butterfly each breast in half splitting it open to forn a huge thinner breast. You'll have 3 pieces of huge chicken breast, pound each piece with a meat pounder until about 1/2 thick or thinner. Put it back in the fridge, covered. The next day make your soaking mixture up for the chicken and put the chicken in, then back to the fridge in the mixture overnight covered with foil. This step is important so don't just try to marinate it an hour or two it won't be tender enough. Must be overnight at least. Make your breading mixture up and set aside. Turn deep fryer on 370 degrees using clean peanut oil or vegetable oil. The food chains use peanut oil. I find it is way too expensive and doesn't really make a difference in the final product, so that's your call. Toast your buns on both inside pieces (top and bottom), with 3 tbls. melted margarine. Brush it on lightly especially around the outer edges. That's what restaurants refer to as "The Money Bite". Broil 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted, golden brown, set aside. Turn the broiler off and set oven to 200 degrees. Drain off soaking mixture and put chicken in a pie dish with about 1/2 cup of fresh milk. One at a time dip chicken in milk, then to your breading mixture. Dredge the chicken heavily with the flour patting it in as you go and turning it 2 or 3 times if needed to completely coat with the breading mixture. Just like frying chicken for a Sunday Dinner. Lay each piece aside on a cookie sheet as you get it breaded so it can rest a bit while waiting for the deep fryer. It will soak up part of the flour while it sits, that is fine. Deep fry each piece one at a time so it has lots of room, no crowding, you want each bite to get nice and crispy golden brown. Usually takes 4 minutes or so, when you think it's done take it out and test with a meat tester. Lay each piece as it comes out on a rack to drain on a another cookie sheet. After you get them all cooked, place on their buns, wrap entire sandwich in foil and put in a 200 degree preheated oven to warm thru for about 20 minutes. Don't skip this step either because the buns need to warm back up and will then be softened by the foil. The sandwich blends it's flavors together in this step. Do not turn your oven any higher trying to speed up either you'll be cooking the chicken if you do and you don't need that. Now, fix your Ore-Ida waffle fries which take about 3 minutes at 350 degrees oil temp. and you're set. Serve with mayo and ketchup. Sam's club sells the exact packets of mayo used at the food chain if you desire that. Comes in a case. Serve them still in the foil, letting everyone unwrap their own warm, soft sandwich at the table. I do save and reuse this foil for other quick kitchen items since it's perfectly clean. Your family will be so glad you made this sandwich. It will get easier the more you make it. It does require a lot of planning steps and a lot of cookie sheets but poultry as you know requires special handling so always use clean cookie sheets for each step. And wash your hands frequently after handling raw chicken.
