Ingredients

For the Spicy Crispy Chicken Fillet:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken tenders)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your heat preference)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (helps with crunch)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk if you don’t have buttermilk)
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (for extra spicy kick)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)

For the Basket:

• French fries (you can make homemade fries or use frozen)
• Pickles (optional, but Culver’s often adds them)
• Soft drink (your choice, often served with soda, tea, or lemonade)

Instructions

For the Spicy Crispy Chicken:

• Prepare the Chicken:
  • If using chicken breasts, cut them into fillets or tenders.
  • Season the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, and a little bit of paprika.
• Prepare the Dredging Breading:
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and baking powder.
• Egg and Buttermilk Coating:
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together. Add hot sauce to the mix for that spicy flavor.
• Bread the Chicken:
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
  • Then coat the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing it gently to ensure a good coating.
• Fry the Chicken:
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

For the French Fries

1. Prepare the Fries:
   • If making homemade fries, slice potatoes into thin strips, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, drain, and pat dry.
   • Heat oil in a separate skillet or fryer to around 350°F.
   • Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Sprinkle with salt after draining.

To Assemble the Basket

• Place the fried crispy chicken fillet in a basket or on a plate.
• Serve with a side of crispy fries.
• Optionally, add pickles or a small container of ranch or spicy dipping sauce to complete the experience.
• Enjoy with your favorite drink!
