Instructions
Creating Nashville Hot Chicken Cheesesteaks is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, pour buttermilk over the thinly sliced chicken breasts. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare Coating: In another bowl, mix together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create your breading mixture.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat for frying.
4. Bread Chicken: Remove chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the flour mixture until completely coated.
5. Fry Chicken: Fry the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with hot sauce. Adjust spice level to your preference.
7. Toast Hoagie Rolls: Lightly toast hoagie rolls on a skillet until golden.
8. Layer Sandwiches: On each toasted hoagie, layer fried chicken, followed by a slice of pepper jack cheese.
9. Melt Cheese: Place sandwiches back on the skillet, cover, and let the cheese melt (about 2-3 minutes).
10. Add Sauce and Garnish: Spread the hot sauce mayonnaise over the cheese, add pickles if desired, and close the sandwich.
Following these steps will ensure you create Nashville Hot Chicken Cheesesteaks that are as delicious as they are stunning.
