Smo-Fried Chicken Sammich! 🐤🥪

[SmokinAussie]

G'Day Bruces!

Had a bit of fun today with a take on a Chicken Sammich... It's kinda long, so less talk and more pics the better....

Started with Aldi Chicken Thighs.

Butterflied them out like this.

Assembled a buttermilk marinade. LOTS of HDD. Making it count. And some salt, because HDD needs salt. Some garlic too.

Mixed it up.

In went the chicken for 24 hours.

Next day, time for the coating. 100% Potato Starch, more HDD... I mean why NOT right? , and this Braai Salt adds some fast herbs without too much messing about.

They were coated like this...

Then to assemble some Sammich ingredients: Home Smoked Bacon, A cobb loaf, Tomato Chutney (Relish), Mayo and some Cheese.

That stuff in the cellophane pack is DEEP FRIED CHICKEN SKINS! Yeps! Dat's what dem's are!

First I smoked off my bacon, top deck on the pooper at 85% Thorium Burn.

Done.

Then cranked up the pooper to full Thorium Burn and added the chicken.

Till it looked like this.

Took it off to cool a bit. Do you like the look of this? I do..

Time to assemble. I cut my bread nice and thick. I mean why not. If I'm a Keto farker gonna eat bread, don't mess about with a farking cracker....

Here's where my phone went dodgy... I took this pic and then it overheated. In the vacinity of too much Thorium and Habanero Death Dust most likely.

This pic is trying to show you the Tomato Relish on the bottom slice and the mayo on the top slice.

From here I had to grab my Mirrorless 3/4 frame Camera. Tragedy...

Layered some Aragula / Rocket in Aussie terms... and Bacon.

Added cheese and hit it with a blow torch.

CHICKEN!

And CHICKEN SKIN!

Topped with home made pickled onion.

Then the bling shots.

Close up.

How was it?.... weeeeeel it was pretty darn good. Crunchy chicken, chicken skin AND bacon. The Habanero Death Dust came through PERFECTLY! Fantastic heat in every bite and heaps of flavor.

I would pay for this in a Specialty Sammich Shop. Fortunately I don't have to.

Cheers and Thanks for looking!

Awesome Bill! That looks crazy good!

Great looking sammie. I have never heard of the habanero death dust before. But that chicken looks amazing!

Looks like you hit another one out of the ballpark! Or, I guess a ruck for you.

Unfortunately for you, and everyone.. there is no more HDD or anything else from Oakridge any longer. Oakridge closed down a few years ago. Uncompromising quality from the owner resulted in a considerable loss of margins post-COVID and he voluntarily chose to close down.

Oakridge products were very well regarded in the Competition scene. Some of us (like myself) still have decent stocks.

That is an awesome sammich I'd love!! I love crispy chicken skins too. I buy flavored ones for snacks sometimes.

Looks good to me! My one critique might be I’d like the bread slightly toasted. And a ? “Bruces”? Dudes, guys, buddys, bros? Never heard thst one orher than your posts. Just curious

This could win a sammich throw down if there was one going on.
