Axis of evil Chicken
Ingredients
6-8 cups vegetable oil 1 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Pepper Sauce (or Sriracha or any medium hot (ketchup thick) chilli sauce) 1/3rd cup water 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 1/2 teaspoons salt 4 teaspoons cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 4 chicken breast fillets 4 plain hamburger buns 8 teaspoons mayonnaise 4 lettuce leaves 4 tomato slices
Recipe
1. Preheat 6-8 cups of oil in a deep fryer (or deep, stable pan) to 350 degrees F . (175C) or put a small piece of bread in once the oil looks hot, if it sizzles, the oil's hot enough) 3. Combine the pepper sauce and water **IF NEEDED** in a small bowl. 4. Combine the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, paprika and garlic powder in another shallow bowl. 5. Pound each of the chicken pieces with a mallet until about 3/8-inch thick. Trim each breast fillet if necessary to help it fit on the bun. 6. Working with one fillet at a time, coat each piece with the flour, then dredge it in the diluted pepper sauce. Coat the chicken once again in the flour mixture and set it aside until the rest of the chicken is breaded. 7. Fry the chicken fillets for 8-12 minutes or until they are light brown and crispy. Remove the chicken to a rack or to paper towels to drain. 8. As chicken is frying, prepare each sandwich by grilling the face of the hamburger buns on a hot skillet over medium heat. Spread about 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise on the face of each of the inverted top buns. 9. Place a tomato slice onto the mayonnaise, then stack a leaf of lettuce on top of the tomato. 10. On each of the bottom buns, stack one piece of chicken. 11. Flip the top half of each sandwich onto the bottom half and serve hot. 12. Eat.
Notes:
The chicken will tighten up and go back to being small and high Don't eat the chicken as soon as it comes out, leave it 5 minutes to allow it to cook on it's own heat, and cool down. If the chicken isn't Spicy enough for you, sprinkle cayenne pepper over it (and add more to the flour for the next pieces) The chilli sauce doesn't have so much control over the spiciness of the finished product, but does help, and acts as glue for the flour. http://www.chilliworld.com/ will sell the sauces you need :-)
