• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp of black pepper
• Cup of whole milk
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 1/2 Tbsp of Louisiana hot sauce
• Frying oil

For Nashville Sauce

• 3/4 cup of melted butter
• 1 Tbsp of dark brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp of honey
• 4 Tbsp of cayenne pepper
• 1 Tbsp of Louisiana hot sauce
• 1 tsp of paprika

Thick and Herby Homemade Ranch

• 1 cup on mayo, full fat
• 1/3 cup of sour cream
• 1/3 cup of buttermilk, full fat
• 1-2 grated garlic cloves
• 3 Tbsp of freeze-dried chives
• salt and pepper to your taste

Instructions

For the Thick and Herby homemade Ranch

• Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and sour cream to a small bowl, and mix well to combine. You can add additional buttermilk if you like a dip to be thinner.
• Add the remaining ingredients and blend well. Adjust the amounts of herbs and spices as you like, and place them in the fridge overnight to allow the flavors to blend.

For the Brine

• In a bigger bowl, add the chicken breast chunks and pour over pickle juice enough to cover all of the chicken. Do this 8-24 hours before cooking.
• Cover it tightly and place it in a fridge overnight for at least 8 hours.

For Dredge and dip

• Heat the oil in a heavy bottom pot that’s safe for frying to 325 F.
• I adjust this temperature to prevent the chicken crumbs from burning at the bottom of the pan.
• Prepare the flour mixture by mixing all ingredients into a large glass bowl while the oil is heating.
• Prepare the dip by combining the eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a separate bowl and mixing well to combine.
• Remove the chicken from the brine and pat them dry.
• Coat the chicken well by placing them in the flour, then into the egg mixture, and back to the flour mixture.

Frying the chicken

• Prepare a cooling rack covered in paper towels in a location near your frying station; just make sure it’s safe.
• Place a portion of the chicken within the oil once the oil has reached the wanted temperature. Work in batches; do not overcrowd the pan with chicken.
• Chicken should be light golden brown after about 6 minutes of cooking. Take them out and place them on previously prepared paper towels.
• Leave it to rest for one minute, then place it back in the oil for an extra two minutes. Ensure that the internal temperature reaches about 165 degrees.
• If any of the raw chicken gets gummy from waiting to be fried, give it a fast toss in the flour mixture before frying.

For the Nashville Spicy Coating Sauce

• Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend well till combined.
• Fully coat the chicken while it’s still hot using a basting brush and serve with slices of pickles.

KFC Chicken Littles Recipe is a Copycat recipe for one of the most famous sandwiches in the world. To get an idea of how popular KFC Chicken Littles are is the fact that there is actually a Facebook petition page you can find here.

The chicken little is meant to be an excellent soft roll instead of a seeded slider bun. It was also a chicken patty, reminiscent of a school restaurant lunch. And it had a pretty decent quantity of mayonnaise, no lettuce.

This new sandwich has been trashed by the real lovers of the original chicken little, and we are all asking the question, why can’t they merely bring back the original?

So, in the meantime, I actually have tried to copy this sandwich in my kitchen and try and satisfy my cravings for this old-fashioned love. It’s not precisely just like the classic, and I did add pickles cause I do love the mix it offers the sandwich; however, trust me, this can be much better than the new wannabe KFC “chicken little.”

How to make KFC Chicken Littles as the Original :

• Buy the softest dinner rolls you can find in your bakery or your supermarket.
• Toast the bun slightly on the stove first.
• Don’t skimp on the mayonnaise; it needs a decent lather.
• You need to flash-fry the chicken before you bake it. It needs an additional soft crunch instead of an extra crisp coating.
• Pickles are optional, chose according to your liking.

If you wish to make this sandwich even more like the classic, you can purchase chicken patties in the frozen section of your supermarket.

• Toss the chicken in the flour mix, then into to egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture.
• Flash fry for about two minutes a bunch of chicken pieces at a time.
• Be sure to move them around to prevent them from sticking.
• Take away the chicken, place it onto a stack of paper leave it to rest while you repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Once all chicken is cooked nicely, place onto the baking sheet lined with parchment or foil and bake for around 15 minutes, or till the internal chicken temperature reaches 160-165F.
• Prepare the sandwiches while the chicken is baking.
• Toast each side on the roll slightly using a skillet on medium heat, sprayed with nonstick oil spray.
• When the buns are cooled a bit, add mayonnaise generously to each side of the rolls, and place four pickle slices (if you like) on every bottom half of the bun.
• Place a piece of warm tasty chicken on every sandwich, and enjoy!
