For the Chicken Po' Boy Sandwich

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the flour mixture. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Po' Boy

    Slice the baguette lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on both sides. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, fried chicken, and pickles. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
