Instructions
- Prepare and cut the Chicken Breast so that you end up with 4 Chicken Fillets about 1/2 inch in thickness or thinner and slightly larger than the Hamburger buns they are going on. Pound them out to an even thickness all the way through.
- Combine the ingredients for the Popeyes style marinade and add the Chicken for at least 1 hour, removing it from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Heat up the Deep Fryer to 325 F — 350 F.
- Remove each Chicken Breast and place into a bowl with the JFC Breading. Gently toss about 20 times and then shake off excess breading.
- Deep Fry for about 10 minutes. Lift the Basket out of the Oil and stand the fillets up to drain off any excess Oil. Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes while you Toast the Buns.

The Breaded Chicken Fillets can also be sliced into strips for Crispy Chicken Wraps.
Any leftover Breading can be used to make JFC Gravy for Fries on the side, or to freeze the made up Gravy until needed for other recipes.
Leftover marinade can be used for JFC Cauliflower Bites or JFC Onion Rings.
