There once was a time when Wendy's offered this sandwich for a "limited-time-only." It stayed that way for a small amount of time - customers loved this sandwich, and so it remained.
Apparently the tasty zing from this breaded chicken sandwich won it many loyal customers and
a permanent place on the fast-food chain's menu. Now you can recreate the spicy kick of the
original with a secret blend of spices in the chicken's crispy coating. Follow the same stacking
order as the original, and you've just made 4 sandwich clones at a fraction of the cost of the real
thing.
6-8 cups vegetable oil
1/3 cup Frank's Original Red Hot Pepper Sauce
2/3 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 chicken breast fillets
4 plain hamburger buns
8 teaspoons mayonnaise
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
1. Preheat 6-8 cups of oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
3. Combine the pepper sauce and water in a small bowl.
4. Combine the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, paprika and garlic
powder in another shallow bowl.
5. Pound each of the chicken pieces with a mallet until about 3/8-inch thick. Trim each breast
fillet if necessary to help it fit on the bun.
6. Working with one fillet at a time, coat each piece with the flour, then dredge it in the diluted
pepper sauce. Coat the chicken once again in the flour mixture and set it aside until the rest of
the chicken is breaded.
7. Fry the chicken fillets for 8-12 minutes or until they are light brown and crispy. Remove the
chicken to a rack or to paper towels to drain.
8. As chicken is frying, prepare each sandwich by grilling the face of the hamburger buns on a
hot skillet over medium heat. Spread about 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise on the face of each of the
inverted top buns.
9. Place a tomato slice onto the mayonnaise, then stack a leaf of lettuce on top of the tomato.
10. On each of the bottom buns, stack one piece of chicken.
11. Flip the top half of each sandwich onto the bottom half and serve hot.
