@Alexa Santos is bringing the ✨magic✨ of chicken tender subs home with this copycat recipe! Chicken tender “pub subs” are an iconic item from @Publix delis, but many people don’t have a Publix grocery store near them! 😳 Get the homemade pub sub recipe below ‼️ INGREDIENTS 1 lb chicken tenders 1 pt buttermilk 1½ cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp kosher salt 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cayenne Vegetable oil, for frying 1 Tbsp mustard 1 Tbsp honey 4 sub or hoagie rolls, split 1 cup thinly sliced romaine lettuce 1 large tomato, thinly sliced Dill pickle chips Special Equipment Instant-read thermometer PREPARATION Place the chicken tenders in a large bowl and pour in the buttermilk, turning to coat. Cover the bowl and marinate the tenders in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. In a shallow bowl or baking dish, stir together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Once the chicken tenders are done marinating, coat evenly with a thick layer of the flour mixture. Fill a large cast iron skillet about halfway with vegetable oil. Heat over [level] heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, lower the chicken tenders into the hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes per side, until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool enough to handle, cut into small pieces. In a small bowl, stir together the mustard and honey. Assemble the subs: On the bottom of each sub roll, layer some lettuce, tomato (seasoned with a pinch of salt), a drizzle of honey mustard, and some chopped chicken tender pieces. Top with pickles, then close each sandwich. Enjoy! @alexawhatsfordinner #chickentender #pubsub
