Cane’s Sauce

Mix the mayo, ketchup, soy sauce (or Worcestershire), garlic powder, pepper, and sugar together until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The sauce improves after a few hours.

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breast into strips or nugget-sized pieces. Combine with pickle juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight is better).
  2. Blend rice paper sheets in a blender until they form a fine, airy crumb. Pour into a shallow dish.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade, shake off excess, and coat each piece thoroughly in the rice paper crumb.

Deep fry

  1. Heat oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven to 175 C (350 F). Fry chicken in batches, turning once, until golden and cooked through, 8-10 minutes total. Drain on a wire rack.

Air fry

  1. Brush coated chicken lightly with oil. Air fry at 190 C (375 F) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deeply golden and cooked through.

To Serve

Serve with curly fries and Cane’s sauce.
