Recipe Collection: Spicy Chicken Sandwiches

Back before we ate real food, we used to love going to Wendy’s and getting spicy chicken sandwiches.  Now that we don’t eat fast food, we hadn’t had them in awhile.  However, recently I decided to make them myself!  They were delicious; the whole family enjoyed them.  I hope you will too!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. chicken breast, cut into 4 – 6 thin slices
• 1 c. sprouted flour
• 1/2 tsp. parsely
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 c. cream
• 1/4 c. chili or red pepper sauce
• Oil for frying (lard, beef tallow, coconut oil, or palm oil — not vegetable oil or shortening!)

Directions:

Mix flour and spices together in a medium bowl.  In another bowl, mix cream, egg, and pepper sauce.  You can add more or less pepper sauce to taste; this is moderately spicy (less than Wendy’s chicken sandwich).  I’d probably add more next time, although then it might be too spicy for the little ones.  It wasn’t too spicy this time.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, about 1/2″ deep, over medium-high heat.  Dip chicken into flour, then cream mixture, then flour again.  Fry over medium heat for 7 – 8 minutes per side, until the outside is golden brown and chicken is cooked through.  Remove chicken to a plate covered with a towel to drain and cool.

Serve on sprouted buns with lettuce, tomato, cheese, homemade mayo, barbecue sauce, or other toppings as desired.  Make some fries to go alongside for a perfect meal!
