![[Homemade] Fried Chicken Sandwich](https://preview.redd.it/i5wrwqoynf961.jpg?auto=webp&s=cc7a6a9f94c5624383d3cfbde6505c3f37d4392b)
You see that dribble of sauce on the left? Wouldn't call it "neat", but "perfect"? Hell yeah.
Exactly, I love it when they give you an obvious location for a first bite
I’ve only had one chicken sandwich from Popeyes, and it was a damned mess. This is more like it!
Most food photographers seem to have been brainwashed into believing that any sandwich photo must have some glob of sauce dripping down the side.
From a photographers prospective, you have to show every ingredient of the sandwich, even if it’s just a corner of a pickle or a slice of cheese, so the audience subconsciously knows it’s part of the sandwich ingredients. Same applies for the sauce, doesn’t need to be a glob off the side, but it’s an easy visual indication that this particular sandwich comes with a sauce. It’d be kind of disappointing to expect a sauceless burgie to open up a wet mess.

Yet 90% of the time, it is. Often a river of it.
That looks delicious! The presentation is excellent, too. Making me so hungry!!!
Used Joshua Weissmans recipe (better than Popeyes)
Op do you have jalapeños on the bottom of the sandwich? And that looks amazing!
Looks like pickles
Pickles but plenty or sriracha and chili powder in the sauce and seasoning respectively for spice
This is the way
Yea same recipe I only took out some of his unique things like Serrano powder and Barlow garlic. Just use paprika and or chili powders comes out just as good.
Did you make your own bun too ?It looks so good
What cut of chicken did you use ?
Thighs. No other way to keep it juicy
That’s what I use too. Do you cut them in half or flatten them at all ?
Put in a plastic back and pound the thicker part a little till it’s all one thickness. If it becomes to log maybe cut in half to fit into the oil.
Idk if I should be concerned but I instantly thought it was his recipe. Looks delicious.
First thing I thought of when I saw this was Weissman. I gotta start trying out his recipes. This looks really good!
Aaaand of course you did. Amazing burgers. Hope you made more than one.
This is a sandwich, not a burgers. Do you see a Hamburg-style meat patty in there?
Is it good? And better than popeyes for real?
I’ve leaned a lot watching his videos and he’s funny too!
that’s hot
That bun has buns
Want to trade this bubble wrap for that burger?
I spent way to much time popping your bubble wrap...
Thanks tho!
You popped it all? Here's some more
Fucking legend👏
I'm looking at this at 6AM starving and I want to sue you for how good that looks
Try and use a brioche the next time... It tastes amazing
Idk why everyone’s downvoting you but word up brother. I tried to make my own brioche but the stupid yeast didn’t rise and it came out as a biscuit. Had to get some classic burger rolls instead.
Truly appreciate your effort brother...
Looks delicious !
woah 😳🤩
Toast the bun for the love of god
...it is. Very obvious browning on bottom bun.
Gnight babe
Looks bomb
I'm fasting now... This looks too good!!!
Gooot damn I need one of these in my life! BRB heading to Popeyes
Is it hard for a nonexperienced cook to fry chicken?
(keeping in mind that I don't own a fryer...)
Frying can seem intimidating but it’s not hard. All you need is a pan or pot with oil and you have a fryer. Use a thermometer to makes sure your oil is hot enough. Most common mistake is the oil is too hot or not to temp yet. This Sammy looks delicious.
What's the right temperature for something like this boneless chicken?
Somewhere around 300-350 when the chicken's frying should work. I'd get the oil hotter, around 400-425 before dropping the chicken in since the temp will lower when the chicken goes in.
Cool thanks. I actually got a oil/candy thermometer for Christmas that clasps to the side of a pot to read out the temperature so this might be something I’ll try!
I love spicy chicken sandwiches!
Cook on!
If you want a recipe, I really like this one from Kenji: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2019/07/kimchi-fried-chicken-recipe.html
The ingredient list is pretty daunting, but it is super good. That recipe has a link to his way more basic 5-ingredient pickle brined chicken too, which is a good starting point.
This wasn’t my first time frying but first time making fried chicken. Just a simple small bowl of oil that you can heat and a little confidence helps. Go one piece at a time and I would invest in an instant read thermometer. Honestly makes a huge difference when cooking bc im not guessing about whether it’s cooked or not. Also don’t be afraid to put it back the oil and constantly flip if you’re not sure.
Thanks for the help!
I hope my fried chicken will look as delicious soon! :)
Please be careful deep frying at home. Never fill the pot more than 2/3 full (3/4 absolute max) and keep either a fire extinguisher or baking soda near by just in case. When a homemade deep frier overflows it can be bad, if you get a grease fire and throw water on it, it will explode so please be safe when doing this for the first time
Thanks for the safety tips!
I have a "Fire-Blanket", I hope that would be enough ^^
TAKE MY MONEY
It's 9am and I'm starving now
That sauce drip 🤤🤤
Ooooo
That looks like the Popeyes sandwich
I used to have a cheap fried chicken shop right by my house... I miss it so much now I've moved
That is perfection on one plate!
No ones gonna talk about how thicc that bun is?-
I have just come back from the store after seeing this post and bought the ingredients for my own chicken sandwich because this looked so good. Awesome job dude
This looks just like kfc crispy colonel. I work there and I bet it’s way better. Although the crispy colonel is good.
