Ingredients

 

·      2 Walker Farms Chicken Breasts – SGC #211935

·      1 Cup Buttermilk

·      1 Cup Flour

·      1-2 Teaspoons Salt

·      1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne

·      2-3 Dashes Frank’s Hot Sauce

·      2 Yellow Bonnet biscuits – SGC# 211124

·      1 Splash of Vinegar

·      4 Eggs + 3 Yolks

·      1/2 Cup (1 Stick) Butter

·      1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

·      12oz Custom Culinary Hollandaise Sauce

·      Canola Oil, for frying

·      Salt and Pepper, to taste

·      Paprika, to taste

 

Directions

  1. In a bowl or ziplock bag, combine the chicken, buttermilk, and hot sauce. Allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.

  2. Heat oil to 350°F.

  3. Combine the flour, salt, and cayenne in a bowl for the dredge. Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off and coat in the flour dredge.

  4. Fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked through and golden brown.

  5. While the chicken is cooking, add a splash of vinegar and a pinch of salt to a large pot of simmering water and poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes. (Tip: Crack each egg into a small dish or cup, then carefully pour the egg into the simmering water, being careful not to let it boil too rapidly. Use a slotted spoon to remove each egg as soon as it is finished.)
