We constantly grappled with the challenge of crafting the perfect fried chicken for sandwiches, experimenting and tweaking until we stumbled across a series of inspiring recipes. By merging these discoveries with our own expertise in creating truly remarkable flavors, we developed this exceptional recipe. The chicken is fried to golden perfection, its crispy exterior giving way to juicy, tender meat inside. The seasoning, a harmonious blend of spices, elevates each bite to a new level of deliciousness.
Start this recipe 10 -14 hours before serving, since you will marinade the chicken for 12 hours. We do this just before bed if we want to have this for lunch, or when we first get up is we want it for dinner.
This is the recipe we proudly present, and we would be genuinely amazed if it doesn’t completely blow you away.
