Instruction
- Pound out chicken with a meat mallet to desired thinness. Place in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Cover the bowl and place in refrigerator for at least an hour or longer if possible.
- Make honey mustard: Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl...cover an refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a shallow dish, mix coating ingredients.
- Once chicken has marinated and is ready to bread; in a deep fryer or dutch oven, bring canola oil to 365 degree.
- Place one breast into flour mixture, covering well, place back into buttermilk, then one more time in flour mixture. Set aside and continue breading the rest of the chicken.
- Once oil is hot enough, carefully place one piece of chicken into hot grease. It will float when cooked. I usually let it then continue to cook until desired darkness and crispness. (You can add 2 pieces at a time, but I wouldn't do any more than that.) It will bring down the temp of your grease and lead to greasy, soggy chicken. I normally do just one at a time.
- Drain finished chicken on paper towels and season with salt, while hot. Prepare bread, either toast or brown on grill or on griddle.
- Place 1st slice of bread grilled side down on plate. Spread about 1 tablespoon of honey mustard. Next the chicken breast, cheese, bacon, tomato and lettuce. Salt and pepper tomato if desired.
- On the second piece of toast spread another tablespoon of honey mustard and place on top. Slice into on a diagonal for easier handling.
- Enjoy! It's scrumptious!
