McChicken Sandwich (Yes Really)

We saw a viral version of this on Instagram, and to be fair, the McChicken Sandwich (and perhaps the occasional milkshake) is the only thing on the Maccies menu we enjoy.

So here’s our take on their billion-dollar sandwich…

Ingredient Breakdown:

1 Ready Cooked Chicken Breast per person

For the chicken coating:

8 tbsp all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/3 cup water

For the sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp white vinegar

To assemble:

Brioche buns
Lettuce, diced

Method:

1. Defrost your breasts as per the pack instructions, slice them in half (long ways), and store them cold until ready for use.

2. Prepare two dishes, and divide the all-purpose flour between them (around 4 tbsp each). Add salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to one dish. Add water to make a thick batter. Adjust water as needed – the batter sticks to the breasts best when the consistency is close to single cream.

3. Preheat your oil (it’s ready when a drop of water into the oil sizzles), coat the chicken patties in the flour mixture, then in the wet batter. Carefully place the chicken breasts into the oil. Fry until crispy golden brown, gently flipping periodically.

4. Make the sauce by combining mayo, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and vinegar in a mixing bowl.

5. Assemble the sandwich by adding sauce, chicken patty, lettuce, and some more sauce. Serve with fries and enjoy!

Our original inspiration from IramMansoor can be found here, we skipped the step where we mince the chicken – our breasts are fine as they are.

We did of course ‘supersize’ one…
