Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornmeal, and additional Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- 4
Coat and Fry the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until well coated. Fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Assemble the Po Boy
Slice the baguettes lengthwise, but not all the way through. Spread mayo on the inside of each piece. Place lettuce, fried chicken, tomato slices, pickles, and drizzle with hot sauce. Close the sandwich and slice in half.
- 6
Serve
Serve the Chicken Po Boy hot with extra hot sauce on the side if desired.
