Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, thyme, oregano, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk egg and milk.
-
Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture. Make sure the chicken is fully coated.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
-
Make the Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
-
Mash potatoes with milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Prepare the Gravy: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
-
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
-
Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth.
-
Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Season with salt and pepper.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a generous amount of mashed potatoes on the bottom bun.
-
Top with a piece of fried chicken.
-
Drizzle with gravy.
-
Add coleslaw, if desired.
-
Top with the other bun and serve immediately.
Notes
-
For extra crispy chicken, double-dredge it in the flour mixture.
-
You can use store-bought gravy and mashed potatoes to save time.
-
Adjust the seasonings to your personal preference.
-
Consider adding a slice of cheese for extra flavor.
