Chicken Po'boy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with cornmeal mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Po'boys

    Slice the baguettes lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on both sides. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, fried chicken, and pickles.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
