Skip the drive-thru and make your own crispy, golden fried chicken sandwiches at home. The fast food flavor you love, at a home-cooked price. And, it’s fail-proof! No deep fryer needed—follow our step-by-step skillet frying instructions in the video below for perfect, fail-proof fried chicken sandwiches every time.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix water and At Home Original Chicken Sandwich Seasoned Coating Mix until crumbly. In another bowl, beat 1 egg. Fill a skillet halfway with oil and heat over medium-high to 375°F (the oil is ready when a pinch of breading sizzles without burning).
  2. Pound chicken (breasts or thighs) to ensure even cooking, then pat dry. Moisten the chicken thoroughly in the egg wash, then press into the Seasoned Coating Mix until fully coated.
  3. Fry the chicken at 375°F for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, with an internal temperature of 165°F and juices running clear.
  4. To assemble, spread mayonnaise on the top and bottom buns. Place pickle slices on the bottom bun, then add the fried chicken breast or thigh. Top with cheese and lettuce, then place the top bun on the sandwich. Enjoy!
