Jalapeno Honey Crispy Fried Chicken BLT

ingredients

For the crispy fried chicken:

• 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs, boneless, skinless, trimmed, about 1/2 inch thick
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 cups vegetable oil or peanut oil

For the sandwiches:

• 4 buns (optionally, lightly toasted)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 large beefsteak or heirloom tomato, sliced
• 1 cup lettuce
• 8 strips bacon, cooked
• 6 tablespoons jalapeno honey
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

directions

For the crispy fried chicken:

1. Marinate the chicken in the mixture of the buttermilk, egg and cajun seasoning for 1 hour to overnight.
2. Grab a piece of chicken, gently shake excess marinade off, dredge in the mixture of the flour, cajun seasoning, cornstarch, and baking powder and place on a wire rack while you repeat for the remaining chicken.
3. Heat the oil to 350F/180C in a large pot and add a piece of chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side, before setting aside on a wire rack to cool. (Option: You can place the chicken in a preheated 300F/150C oven to keep it warm until all chicken is cooked.)

For the sandwiches:

4. Assemble the sandwiches and enjoy!

Option: Use your favourite spice blend or combo. I like cajun seasoning and taco seasoning or keep it simple with something like 1 tablespoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne.
Option: After dredging the chicken in the flour mixture, dip it in the buttermilk mixture and dredge a second time for even more crispy coating!
