Method

For the Po’Boy Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Po’Boy Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Set aside.

For the Fried Chicken

  1. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg.

  2. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Set aside.

  3. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breasts. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Po’Boy Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Po’Boy

    Slice the hoagie rolls open lengthwise. Spread a generous amount of Po’Boy sauce on each side of the rolls. Place the fried chicken inside the rolls, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, red onion, and pickles.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Close the rolls and serve immediately with extra Po’Boy sauce on the side if desired.
