Chicken Sandwich

This version of Koi Anselmo’s chicken sandwich can give Popeye’s, Chick-fil-A and KFC‘s Zinger chicken sandwiches a run for their money.

Instead of chicken breast fillet, Koi opted to use chicken thigh fillet in this recipe for a tender, juicier meat. The chicken is marinated for 4 hours in buttermilk, then coated with seasoned breading and fried to a perfect crisp. Served in toasted brioche buns with a layer of his own signature dressing.
