• First, start by preparing the dry and wet mixes.

First Dry Mix

• In a shallow dish, combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, and salt. When dipping the chicken in the dry mix and shake off any excess.

Wet Mix

• In a separate shallow dish, use a fork or whisk to beat together the eggs, hot sauce, and milk. When dipping the chicken into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip back into the dish.

Second Dry Mix

• Use a spoon to combine the crackers, flour, and Cajun seasoning. When dipping the chicken into this mixture and pat gently to ensure the cracker mixture sticks to the chicken.

Making the Fried Chicken Sandwich

• In a heavy bottomed skillet or pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over low to medium heat (oil should reach 350 degrees F.). While the oil heats, prepare the chicken.
• Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Then follow a dry, wet, dry method of dipping the chicken beginning with the flour and Cajun seasoning mix and ending with the saltine cracker mix.
• Place the dipped chicken into the hot oil and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165° on an instant read thermometer. Take care not to cook the chicken too quickly, otherwise, the outside will burn but the inside will be under cooked.
• While the chicken cooks, toast the buns and make the Cajun mayonnaise. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning. Place the mayonnaise into the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• After the chicken cooks, place it on a wire rack to cool and assemble the sandwiches. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the tops and bottoms of each bun. Add 1 to 2 slices of lettuce on the bottom bun, then add a piece of chicken. Finally, add the top bun, and serve with chips and a pickle.
