- Place the breaded chicken on a baking rack until ready to fry.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F.
- Fry the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side, spooning hot oil over parts that need additional browning.
- Once cooked, place the chicken on a wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
Assembly

Notes
Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It's better to keep components separate to maintain crispiness.
