KFC Crispy Chicken Sandwich
The new KFC chicken sandwich is on fire. It's selling twice as fast as previous sandwiches they've released, and for good reason: it's a great sandwich. But, why not learn how to make your own crispy chicken sandwich? Homemade, of course. The key to perfecting this type of sandwich? The breading. If you've ever had Popeye's, you know their sandwich has an iconic crispy breading unlike anything else out there. KFC has now gotten dangerously close to this territory, using what looks to be the exact same breading technique. Allow me to explain:
In order to get the crispy bits on the edges, you make a slightly granular and chunky breading by simply mixing in just a bit of your wet brine (the buttermilk, for instance), into your dry mixture (the flour, potato starch, or whatever it is you decide to use). Once you stir this up, it makes small clumpy bits such that when you go to dredge the chicken, you get little bits of starch on the edges that will give a beautiful look and texture to your finished product. Try it out. You got this.

Pickle:
Any good quick pickle recipe should do the trick! If you're lazy, you can just can just heat vinegar and a pinch of sugar until the sugar dissolves, then pour it over pre sliced cucumbers and let it cool in fridge. Done!
