Homemade Chick-fil-A Sandwich
This is how I made a Homemade Chick-fil-A Sandwich using a sous vide cooking machine
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup pickle juice from a jar of dill pickles
- 32 ounces vegetable oil we use canola
- 4 hamburger buns
Dry Rub
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1.5 cup flour
Wet Rub
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce Franks, Texas Pete, Crystal's etc
Instructions
- Cut part of chicken breasts into 4 large pieces for sandwiches. Pound flat so they are about the size of the buns,
- Cut rest of chicken into smaller nugget size pieces.
- Place chicken in bowl or bag, season with salt and pepper, add pickle juice and brine for at least an hour.
- Heat sous vide bath to 145 degrees. Remove from brine. Place in sous vide bag and seal. Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- While chicken cooks combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl. Add oil to large pot.
- Remove chicken from sous vide and put on plate. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Place dry bowl next to pot, followed by wet bowl and chicken.
- Working in batches, dip a small number of chicken pieces into wet bowl, then dry bowl and then into pot. Fry for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Check and adjust oil temperature as needed.
- Serve chicken sandwiches on toasted hamburger buns with condiments of choice. Chicken nuggets can be served separately with ketchup, ranch or other sauce.
