Big Swagu Chicken Sandwich

Under the watchful eye of our Chief Fry Officer, Marcus Spears, we’ve dipped into our decades of frying expertise to create the ultimate Big Swagu Chicken Sandwich. Create the ultimate chicken sandwich at home with Louisiana Fish Fry’s At Home Chicken Sandwich Seasoned Coating Mix. This crispy, flavorful chicken sandwich, topped with melted cheese and a fried egg, is the perfect blend of bold flavors. No deep fryer required—just use a skillet for a golden, crispy finish. Ideal for game day or a tasty weeknight meal!

Ingredients

1 box Louisiana Fish Fry At Home Original Chicken Sandwich Seasoned Coating Mix
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 eggs
2 tbsp water
1 chicken thigh (or two, if you’re really hungry)
neutral oil, for frying
hot honey
1 potato bun

Directions

Make the fry sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ketchup and let chill while completing the next steps.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sprinkle cheddar cheese and allow to melt. When cheese starts to bubble, crack egg in the center of the cheese then cover with a lid to finish cooking.
Fill skillet halfway with oil and place over medium-high heat to reach 375°F (oil is ready when a pinch of breading sizzles without burning). In a shallow dish, Mix Seasoned Coating Mix and water. In another shallow dish, whisk the remaining egg.
Moisten chicken thoroughly in egg wash then firmly press in Seasoned Coating Mix until completely coated. Fry at 350°F for 4 minutes per side until golden brown, internal temperature is 165°F, and juices run clear.
To assemble your Big Swagu Chicken Sandwich, spread a dollop of fry sauce on the bottom bun. Add fried chicken thigh (or two), and drizzle with hot honey. Place crispy cheddar egg on top, and finish with another spoonful of fry sauce and the top bun. Enjoy!
