Cooking
-
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large dutch oven or pot to 350 degrees.
-
Take the chicken out of the marinade and lay it in the flour mix.
-
Press firmly on both sides so that the flour and breadcrumbs adhere to it.
-
Put the chicken in the oil. Make sure to lay it away from you so oil doesn’t splash on you. Cook 2 chicken thighs at a time for about 4 minutes on each side or until it’s all golden brown and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
-
Lest them rest on a cooling rack while the rest are cooking.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the top and bottom buns with Uncle Dell’s Spicy Mambo Sauce. The order is bottom bun, lettuce, fried chicken, sliced tomato, and then top bun.
