Carter has been on a chicken sandwich kick, and asked me to try and make them at home. So I picked up some chicken, some Hawaiian rolls (cuter than the brioche he requested) and gave it a whirl. I found a recipe for a likely-looking batter at Leite's Culinaria, and it fit the bill perfectly. Lots of cornstarch and some baking powder ensured crispiness, and plenty of black pepper and cayenne added flavor (although I should have used a little more salt). While we had the fryer hauled out, I went ahead and battered some onions and some of the zucchini I was planning on grilling (I did grill the rest, though. I'm not a monster).
Success! Carter's complaints were minor: a bit too much pickle, and he was skeptical of the tiny buns. But it was undeniably tasty. Worth the pain-in-the-buttness of deep frying.
