Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the panko, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Dip each breast into the flour, then the eggs, and then the panko mixture.
  • Fill a fryer or medium heavy pot 1/3 full with the oil, heat over high heat to 350 degrees F. Add the coated breasts and allow them to cook through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Using a food processor, combine the jalapeno, serrano, ground Thai bird chile and red pepper flakes and blend until minced.
  • Add the lemon juice and the egg yolk to the mixture.
  • While the processor is running, slowly pour in the oil.
  • Continue until a mayonnaise-like consistency is achieved.
  • Season with the sugar, salt, and pepper, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • *RAW EGG WARNING
  • Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.
  • To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
  • Using a mandoline, or a sharp knife thinly slice the potatoes.
  • Fill a fryer or medium heavy pot 1/3 full with the oil and heat over high heat to 300 degrees.
  • Add the potatoes to the oil and fry until golden brown and crisp about 5 minutes, making sure to turn the chips at least once.
  • Remove the chips and drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt.
  • Plating: Cut each bread in half and toast on a grill or under a broiler.
  • Spread the aioli on one side of the bread and top with the lettuce and tomato slices.
  • Cut the chicken lengthwise and place it on top.
  • Garnish with the potato chips Beverage suggestion: special Ice Teas and lots of beers Fosters, Sam Adams, Sierra Pale Ale
