The original recipe touted that this is a copycat of Wendy’s but honestly it doesn’t really taste anything like Wendy’s except for the part where it’s spicy and fried chicken. Nothing wrong with that and this was an absolutely delicious and great sandwich/burger but just don’t expect a miracle of replicating the deliciousness of a professional level deep fryer in your house.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Heat oil in fryer or high sided pan to 175°C.
In a small bowl combine hot pepper sauce and water. In the second bowl combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dip the fillets one at a time in the flour mixture, then into the pepper sauce mixture, and then once again in the flour mixture. Set aside and repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
Add the chicken to the oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes on each side until brown. Remove the chicken and drain. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
Once slightly cooled, assemble your budger to your liking.
