The chicken sandwich, what a concept. Go to any burger joint and you're bound to see it on the menu, a piece of lousy chicken meat, sandwiched in thawed out frozen buns that traveled a gazzilion miles to get to the restaurant. But those fast food giants, Mc Donalds, Burger King, Jack in The Box, etc. have decent chicken sandwiches if you're hungry. I've been guilty of nailing those $1 Mc Chickens myself. But I found that the best chicken sandwiches made in commerical establisments are those bar and grills, where you know the owners, and you know that the chef has the cooks seasoning their own chicken breasts, or thighs. You can really taste the difference. Well you say, all chicken is processed and frozen. Well, yes in some way it is. But take for example a fast food franchise, their chicken products are tasteless, and mass produced, the seasonings suck too. Okay KFC has a good flavor for a fast food giant, after all, Colonel Sander's recipe is still top secret, under lock and key in some vault. But the best chicken sandwiches are the ones you'd find in local sports bars, or local bar and grills like I mentioned.
Okay- if I ran a bar and grill, and offered chicken sandwiches, I'd use locally baked fresh buns, that's number one. Number two, I'd use good quality chicken breasts. Number three, I would use a simple seasoning. A mixture of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, simple!
Then dredge it in flour, and then in some buttermilk, then in a mixture of flour and a little conrstarch. Deep fry it to perfection, and use fresh lettuce, and a mustard and mayonnaise mixture. I'd make the mayonnaise so it's fresh and tasty in house, and buy the mustard. I think people will pay for that extra hard work, in house mayonnaise is the best.
And for the fries, I'd serve steak fries, freshed peeled potatoes with skin on, and fried to a crisp on the outside. And have custom seasonings for the customer. Combination, salts and peppers; hot and spicy sprinkles, vinegar and salt shakers (I saw this one dude mix vinegar and salt in a liquid holder, you shake it and pour it over your fries).
So as far as the chicken sandwich, if you only have a few bucks in your wallet, it's okay to scarf down a couple of Mc Chickens.
