Instructions

Marinating the chicken:

1In a large bowl, mix the milk, plain yogurt, sriracha sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
2Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are well coated.
3Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.

Preparing the sauce:

4In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
5Mix well and set aside for assembly.

Cooking the chicken:

6In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery salt.
7Take a piece of chicken and roll it in the flour, making sure it is well coated.
8Dip the piece of chicken back into the marinade, then into the flour again, for two layers of coating.
9Repeat for all the pieces of chicken.
10Heat frying oil in a large pot to 180°C.
11Fry each piece of chicken in the hot oil for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked inside.
12Place the cooked chicken pieces on a rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.

About this dish

The American chicken sandwich is a staple of fast-food joints and diners across the United States. At its heart, a piece of chicken, often the breast, is marinated, breaded, and then fried until crispy and golden on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. It is usually served on a lightly toasted hamburger bun, with mayonnaise or other creamy sauces, crunchy lettuce leaves, slices of fresh tomato, and sometimes pickles or bacon slices. Some variations add melted cheese or a spicy touch to enhance the flavors. Symbolizing American comfort food, this sandwich offers a balance of softness, crunch, and flavor. Popular throughout the country, each region or chain may offer its own interpretation, making the American chicken sandwich as varied as it is delicious.
