Method

Buffalo Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Breading the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Buffalo Sauce Coating

    In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken strips with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Poaching the Eggs

  1. 5

    Prepare the Water

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a simmer. Add the white vinegar.

  2. 6

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Making the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 7

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully liquefied. Remove from heat.

  2. 8

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice until slightly thickened.

  3. 9

    Combine with Butter

    Slowly drizzle melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce is thick and smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

Assembly

  1. 10

    Toast the English Muffins

    Split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 11

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted muffin half, place a piece of buffalo chicken, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives.
