Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich
Chicken sandwiches are always yummy! Fried chicken - yup. Spicy chicken - yup. Avocado Blue Cheese Dressing...YUP! This Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich was a total vibe! The weather is starting to get a little crisp and there's nothing like a hot meal on a chillier day! This sammy was spicy, it was juicy, it was so fresh! The tomato slices on there and that little bunch of arugula, and then that creamy, tangy Avocado Blue Cheese Dressing with the brioche bun to bring it all together. So, so good!

Instructions
- Get out 2 shallow dishes and set up your breading station. In the first dish, whisk egg and hot sauce until combined.
- In the second dish, whisk all other sandwich ingredients besides the chicken breast and vegetable oil.
- Add oil to cast iron skillet and heat on medium until shimmering. Get out a baking sheet and line it with paper towel, then place a rack over the top. Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
- Toss the chicken breasts in the hot sauce and egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Then dredge the breasts in the flour mixture, letting the excess fall off.
- To test if the oil is ready, toss a bit of the flour in there. If it sizzles, then it's ready! You can also temp the oil, we're looking for about 180 ℉. Fry the chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side. You may need to turn the heat down if experiencing a lot of splatter, smoke, or if the chicken starts to get too dark.
- Chicken breast is done when it has reached an internal temp of 165 ℉. Move fried chicken to prepared rack.
- Add buns to the preheated oven, directly on the rack with the tops facing out. Toast buns for 3 minutes.
- Next, let's build our Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich! Smear some of the Avocado Blue Cheese Dressing on the top and bottom of the buns. Then add some arugula and tomato slices to the top bun, followed by the fried chicken! Enjoy!
