Chicken Patty
With plenty of toppings and a revamped patty, we turned this nostalgic classic into the tastiest sandwich around. Our cornflake-crusted chicken results in an extra-crispy patty (seriously, it brings the crunch factor) that pairs perfectly with lettuce, pickles, and the other star of the show: homemade creamy and tangy honey mustard mayo. Packed with flavor and plenty of crunch, this fresh take on a cafeteria classic is everything we could ever want in a chicken sandwich.

CHICKEN PATTY & ASSEMBLY
Step 1
In large bowl, mix chicken, shallot, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 6 (about 3-oz.) patties.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, spread cornflakes in an even layer. Press patties into cornflakes on both sides.
Step 3
Into a large, straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, pour oil to a depth of 1". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 350º. Working in batches, cook patties, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a paper-towel lined plate; season with salt.
Step 4
Spread honey mustard mayo on cut sides of each bun. Place lettuce on bottom bun, top with tomato and/or pickles and a chicken patty, and close with top bun.
