Crispy Chicken Sandwiches with Seasoned Waffle Fries

Step 1: Prepare Chicken Breasts

If using thick chicken breasts, slice them horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board.

Step 2: Season Chicken (First Side)

Season one side of the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of smoke paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic parmesan, 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Ensure even coverage.

Step 3: Season Chicken (Second Side)

Flip the chicken breasts over and repeat the seasoning process on the other side with the same quantities of smoke paprika, garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, and onion powder.

Step 4: Prepare Dry Batter Mix

In a large container, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of cornstarch, and 0.5 cup of Louisiana Chicken Fry.

Step 5: Season Dry Batter Mix

Add 2 teaspoons of garlic parmesan, 1 teaspoon of smoke paprika, 2 teaspoons of garlic pepper, 3 teaspoons of Accent seasoning, 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper, and 4 teaspoons of onion powder to the dry batter mix.

Step 6: Mix Dry Batter

Secure the lid on the container and shake vigorously until all the seasonings and dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 7: Deep Fry Chicken

Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer. Once hot, carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts into the fryer basket. Deep fry for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is well-done and golden brown.

Step 8: Deep Fry Waffle Fries

While the chicken is frying or immediately after, place the waffle fries into the deep fryer basket. Deep fry until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9: Prepare Buns

Spread mayonnaise generously on both the top and bottom halves of the buns.

Step 10: Assemble Classic Sandwich

On one mayonnaise-coated bun, place two lettuce leaves, followed by two tomato slices. Top with a fried chicken breast.

Step 11: Assemble Hot Honey Sandwich

On the second mayonnaise-coated bun, place two lettuce leaves and two tomato slices. Top with a fried chicken breast. Drizzle Frank's RedHot sauce over the chicken, then drizzle honey over the hot sauce.

Step 12: Season Waffle Fries

Once the waffle fries are cooked and removed from the fryer, sprinkle them generously with dry Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning and Parmesan cheese.

Step 13: Serve

Serve the assembled chicken sandwiches alongside the seasoned waffle fries.

• If thin-cut chicken breasts are not available, slice regular chicken breasts horizontally to achieve a thinner cut.

• Adjust frying time for chicken based on thickness; aim for well-done and golden brown.

• If Louisiana Chicken Fry is unavailable, a mix of all-purpose flour and cornstarch can be used for the batter.

• Any hot sauce can be substituted for Frank's RedHot sauce.

• For extra crispiness, toast the buns before assembling the sandwiches.

• Classic Chicken Sandwich (mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato)
