  5. 1 tbsp cooking oil

Cooking steps for Chicken Sandwich

  1. 1
    First, cut 200 gms of boneless chicken into tiny pieces, small enough for easy bites.
  2. 2
    This, in turn, can be regarded as one of the ways through which chicken can be prepared to be used as filling in a sandwich.
  3. 3
    Now that the chicken is cut, it's time to marinate.
  4. 4
    Marinating gives flavour to the chicken; this makes every single bite juicy and delicious.
  5. 5
    In a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste to the chicken.
  6. 6
    This paste is the basic mixture in many recipes as it forms a solid aromatic base for the chicken.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle over ¼ teaspoon of black pepper powder all over the chicken.
  8. 8
    Black pepper adds a good quantity of heat but does not overpower the flavour of the dish; besides, black pepper will bring forth the rich flavours of the chicken.
  9. 9
    Put the salt as you like it, then let the mixture sit and make sure that all of the chicken pieces are well coated by each spice.
  10. 10
    Now let the marinated chicken rest for almost 15 minutes in that mixture.
  11. 11
    Such a short marination time allows flavours to penetrate the chicken so that it tastes good when cooked.
  12. 12
    As little as 15 minutes may seem, it still manages to instil a fair share of richness in the flavour profile of the chicken.
  13. 13
    You need to now heat one tablespoon of oil over a medium flame in a pan. That may be a vegetable oil, canola oil, or olive oil-it's your choice.
  14. 14
    When the oil is sufficiently hot without smoking, add your marinated chicken pieces to the pan and position them so that they will cook evenly.
  15. 15
    Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it gets that lovely golden brown on the outside and is cooked inside.
  16. 16
    That should take around 7-10 minutes.
  17. 17
    That all depends on how big your pieces of chicken happen to be and what heat you're using.
  18. 18
    To check if the chicken is done, hold a piece close and gently squeeze it.
  19. 19
    If it's firm and not pink inside, then it's done. If not, cut into a piece to make sure.
  20. 20
    Once it's done, remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool.
  21. 21
    Cooling the chicken is especially essential as it helps with easy shredding and prevents the filling from getting soggy when mixed with all the other ingredients.
  22. 22
    Place the cooked chicken in a bowl and shred the chicken into small, manageable pieces.
  23. 23
    You can either use the fork to pull apart the chicken or shred it by hand.
  24. 24
    The shredded texture makes the chicken mix well and even ensures that all bites of your sandwich are well-feted.
  25. 25
    Include ¼ cup grated cheese with shredded chicken.
  26. 26
    Besides making the sandwich rich with flavour, the cheese acts as a binder that holds the fillings together.
  27. 27
    You can use cheddar, mozzarella, or both, which work perfectly for the cheese, as you like.
  28. 28
    On top of that, add two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Mayonnaise adds a good creamy texture to hold the chicken together.
  29. 29
    The remaining one tablespoon of tomato ketchup provides the dish with sweet and tangy flavours to mix with the savoury chicken.
  30. 30
    Yet, in the end, add another ¼ teaspoon of black pepper powder to spice it up and let the flavours blend.
  31. 31
    Mix all of it well.
  32. 32
    Now, let's get our chicken-cheese mixture ready to go inside our sandwiches.
  33. 33
    Cut four slices of bread and butter on one side of the slices. Buttering adds a rich taste and a crispy golden crust when the bread is toasted.
  34. 34
    Position the bread so that the buttered sides are out; therefore, this side will have contact with heat.
  35. 35
    Place the chicken-cheese mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of two slices.
  36. 36
    Fill them generously, but not too over the edge, in case you close it and the filling spills out.
  37. 37
    Once spread, place the remaining two slices of bread on top buttered sides exposed.
  38. 38
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat or preheat a sandwich maker.
  39. 39
    Now, place the sandwiches in a pan or sandwich maker, buttered side down.
  40. 40
    If you're using a pan, gently press down on the sandwiches with a spatula to create good contact with the heat to cook them evenly.
  41. 41
    Let it cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  42. 42
    When you're using a sandwich maker, just use the instructions from your machine.
  43. 43
    When the sandwiches are golden brown, with the melted cheese, remove them from heat.
  44. 44
    Let the chicken sandwiches sit on the cutting board and cut them in half or quarters, as you desire.
  45. 45
    Serve the hot crisp chicken sandwiches with ketchup, chutney, or any other dipping sauce to give that extra flavour.

FAQs

Which cut of chicken is suitable to be served in a chicken sandwich?

For the crispiest chicken sandwich, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. These cook quickly and are very even in texture when ready. This makes a good option for a richer flavour; the juiciness of chicken thighs is also natural. So season or marinate this meat well to unlock the flavours.

How do I make the chicken sandwich crispy?

For the sandwich to achieve a crispy feel, the chicken must be dredged in seasoned flour or panko breadcrumbs before frying. Dip the chicken in buttermilk or egg wash before coating to enhance its crunch. The chicken is fried with hot oil, around 350 F, until it turns golden brown and well-cooked. If you wish to bake, the oven temperature should be set at 425 F, and the coated chicken should be sprayed lightly with some oil and baked until crispy. An air fryer provides exceptional crunch with the least possible oil.

What are some extraordinary topping choices for a chicken sandwich?

A chicken sandwich can be served with many different types of toppings. Few people think of anything more substantial than lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. Added flavour elements are cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack), avocado slices, or crispy bacon. If you're fancy, add sauces like ranch, barbecue, or spicy aioli. Health-conscious eaters might like the option of switching to whole-grain buns or using Greek yoghurt-based sauces instead of traditional condiments.
