Fried Chicken Sandwich with Mayo & Pickles
This is just one of those perfect things. They can be made en masse and they're just good every time. Put cole slaw on it too if you want! This also works with chicken fried steak. I prefer to use the cajun seasoning over the seasoned salt in the flour, but thats just me. When frying anything, if you don't season your flour, then start. Also, adding hot sauce to your buttermilk marinade is crucial for tenderness and flavor.
