Popeye's Chicken Sandwich (but Better)
  1. Toss chicken in marinade, let sit for an hour minimum or overnight maximum.

  2. Add all ingredients in a medium sized container. Tip: for extra flaky bits – add droplets of marinade into dredge and mix together forming baby clumps. Make sure chicken is coated in flour and place on baking sheet with a rack. Do not pile on top of each other.

  3. Fill a cast iron pan with a neutral oil about halfway full. Using a fry or candy thermometer, heat oil to 350 degrees. Once heated, drop the chicken away from you and fry until golden brown with an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Take out of the oil into a sheet tray with a rack on top to cool.

  4. Combine all mayonnaise ingredients in a bowl.

  5. Cut pickles lengthwise, not in rounds.

  6. To assemble, spread mayo on the bottom bun, add pickles, place chicken in the middle, and top with mayo on the top bun.
