Honey Kissed Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Honey Kissed Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Serves 2

You will need:

* 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and pat dry
* 2/3 cup buttermilk
* 1 egg
* 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
* 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* oil for frying
* 2 kaiser rolls
* mayonnaise
* About 2 teaspoons honey
* tomato slices
* lettuce leaves
* sliced red onion

1. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag.Pound with the flat side of meat mallet until flattened to 1/4 inch thick (a rolling pin would work too).
2. In a bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, 1 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt and Tabasco. Place chicken breasts in the bowl, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. After marinating the chicken, place flour, baking powder and 1 tablespoon of seasoning salt in a resealable plastic bag. Remove chicken from marinade and transfer to flour. Shake to coat. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
4. Heat 1/ 2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, sprinkle a little flour over it. If it sizzles its ready. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
5. Toast kaiser rolls. Spread mayonnaise on roll. Place chicken breast on bottom half of roll, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over each chicken breast. Add tomato, lettuce, onion and top half of roll.
6. Serve.

As I learned, if you happen to be eating this with anyone else at the table, hang on to your sandwich or it just might disappear. Enjoy!
