Fried Chicken sandwiches - ideas?

Sounds like you have the chicken under control. Now you just need the slaw and the dressing. If it's a spicy slaw, I would use blue cheese to give a buffalo chicken feel to the sandwich. Here is a link to a recipe for spicy slaw I found that you might be able to use on the sandwich: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-slaw-1000000...

I also found this link to a list of shops in San Francisco that have a fried chicken sandwich similar to the one you described. http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=fried+chicken... Maybe you can scroll through and find the shop your daughter was talking about to get more info on the sandwich to better recreate it. Best of luck!

I don't live in San Fran, so I can't comment on the flavor. But I can tell you that the batter is the be all end all of making fried chicken.

Your wet ingredients sound delicious. What I'd worry about is the flour mix you'll need to dredge the strips in afterwards. Make sure to add black pepper, red paprika, maybe some more red pepper powder, onion and garlic powder, as well as salt/seasoned salt. Herbs of your liking, be it cilantro, rosemary, thyme, etc. . . . Either way, I'd double dip. Dip the meat in the wet mixture then into the dry mixture. Let sit. Once dried, re-dip in the wet and re-dip in the flour mix. Let dry, THEN deep fry. This will get the coating that will most likely approach the style of fried chicken you get in commercial restaurants. A nice thick batter that mimicks what you'd get in any restaraunt.

Made a double dipped chicken that the family loved and liked better than the Colonel's at KFC. This almost sounds like something you'd get at Popeye's over KFC. Which I'm totally fine with.

They want me to make it again and again. But, I never did.

Here is a video, it has the list of the ingredients of the slaw and chicken and the sandwich.:
