Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Garlic Mayo is a crunchy, zesty treat, perfect for easy dinners or gatherings. This zesty chicken sandwich, with its golden chicken and bold mayo, is a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lb/680g)
- 1 cup 125g all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 100g panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp 6g garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- 4 soft sandwich buns brioche or potato buns
For the Garlic Mayo:
- 1 cup 240g mayonnaise
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp 30ml fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Make Garlic Mayo
- I mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. I refrigerate it to meld flavors for a bold zesty chicken sandwich.
Preheat Oven
- I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment for a perfect crispy baked sandwich.
Prep Chicken
- I season 4 chicken breasts with salt and pepper, halving thick ones for even cooking in this flavorful chicken delight.
Bread Chicken
- I set up 3 bowls: flour with 2 tsp garlic powder, beaten eggs (if using), and panko. I dredge each breast in flour, dip in egg, then coat in panko, pressing firmly for a crunchy zesty chicken sandwich.
Bake Chicken
- I place chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and 165°F (74°C) internally. I broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crunch in this crispy baked sandwich, watching closely.
Assemble Sandwich
- I toast 4 buns, spread garlic mayo on both halves, add chicken, and top with lettuce, tomato, or pickles for a flavorful chicken delight. I serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a wire rack for extra crispiness if available.
- Press breadcrumbs firmly into chicken to help them stick.
- Let chicken rest before assembling to avoid soggy buns.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, avocado, or cheese for added flavor.
- Garlic mayo can be used as a dip or sandwich spread. Store leftovers for up to 5 days.
- Store baked chicken separately and reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain crunch.
