Pan Fried Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 boneless chicken breasts, skin-on, split
• 1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging, plus additional if necessary
• 1 cup grapeseed, corn, canola, or other neutral oil
• 4 biscuits (canned will do just fine)
• 1 cup of your favorite slaw, either store-bought or homemade
• Hellman's mayonnaise as condiment

Directions

1. Combine the buttermilk, honey, and mustard with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow baking dish. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and marinate the chicken or at least 3 hours, or as long as overnight (in the refrigerator).

2. Put the flour in a wide, shallow dish—a pie plate works great—and season it with a little salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting it drain for a second or two after you pull it from the baking dish, then dredge each piece in the seasoned flour.

3. Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet or saute pan large enough to accommodate the chicken without crowding. Let the oil heat for a full minute, then add the chicken. Cook it for 6 to 7 minutes a side, until golden brown. Turn the heat down to medium after you flip the meat. Meanwhile, bake the biscuits.

4. Assemble the sandwiches: a pan fried chicken breast half on each biscuit bottom, topped with a few heaping tablespoons of cole slaw and a dab of mayo, and the top of the biscuit, of course.
