Ingredients for Cheesy Hot Chicken Sandwich

Method

Instructions for preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, season flour with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and cheddar cheese over low heat. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Add hot sauce to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare the frozen fries according to package instructions. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a fried chicken breast. Drizzle the house-made cheese sauce over the chicken. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheesy hot chicken sandwich with a side of fries.
