@Kaido ’s “The IronWing”

Introducing the IronWing: The official Chicken Sandwich of ATOT

When I order a chicken sandwich, I always order it with cheese and bacon no matter which fast food place I'm at. They should have called it the The Ironwing. Buttermilk-brined Southern-fried sous-vide chicken thighs. Sharp cheddar with melting salts (turns any cheese into liquidy goodness)...

May I also submit for your considering the "Triple-Fat Grilled Cheese Method", just recently perfected last year in 2020:

https://www.reddit.com/r/kaidomac/comments/jka9ud

One of my favorite things to do lately is to take an extremely simple dish & elevate to magical heights. Dare I say....to Flavortown. In this case:

1. This uses 2 different types of cheese (Kraft American + your choice of "real" sliced cheese, such as Muenster)
2. This uses 3 different types of fat for the crust (hot canola oil on the pan surface, plus softened butter & mayo mixed together)
3. Spices go inside (Kosher salt, black pepper, MSG, and yellow mustard powder - the mustard is a trick stolen from the gourmet Mac & Cheese world)

It requires about 30 extra seconds of work over a standard plebeian grilled cheese sandwich, but imo it's worth the effort:

I have also used the Triple-Fat method successful with other sandwiches, such as tuna sandwiches, ham & cheese sandwiches, and even egg sandwiches. Use a cast-iron skillet for best results, crust-wise:

Egg loaf sandwiches are glorious with this procedure:

PS - welcome to ATOT, where I post pictures of my sandwiches lol

I sweat some minced garlic in 2 tsp Elevation oil (look it up) and then mix the garlic and oil directly into a beaten egg along with some scallion and a tiny bit of milk.
Scramble that up in a little butter (adding black pepper to taste), bacon and a slice of American on top, and shredded cheddar in the pan next to the egg. Put the egg on top of the cheddar and crank the heat to crisp that cheddar up nice without overcooking the egg. Put the whole thing between two pieces of toast and drizzle any leftover butter/oil from the pan onto the toast. Saturdays and Sundays have been a whole lot better since I started that routine.

Per Google image-search it's this:

Sandwich-Madness-5-800x534.jpg


"Griddle grilled bread, smoky bacon, juicy tomato, butter lettuce, homemade mayo and cranberry aioli and mounds of thin-sliced smoked wild turkey"

If that's NOT the one then it didn't miss by a whole lot! :p

I'd like to see a red-wine fried reverse-sear steak and bacon Italian club pizza cheese breakfast sandwich.

1) Reverse-sear two ribeyes
2) Make a 10" cheese pizza
3) Get two slices of thick white bread
4) Build an Italian club sandwich
5) Add cheese
6) Add pizza
7) Use ribeyes for bread
8) Wrap the sandwich in bacon
9) Soak the sandwich in red wine
10) Dip the sandwich in a flour and smoked paprika mixture
11) Dip the sandwich in a beaten egg and milk mixture
12) Deep-fry the sandwich in extra-virgin olive oil for 20 minutes
13) Season the sandwich with kosher salt
14) Serve with a side of melted butter for dipping

I had to see if deep-fried sandwiches were a thing & indeed they are!

I made me a chicken sandwich Tuesday night. I don't like bacon on sandwiches though...it overpowers everything else. If I want bacon, I'll make a BLT. I worked out a breading that's a cross between KFC and Popeyes. Might have to make it again this weekend ;)

I admire your dedication to completely open and fair poll creation. Reminds me of my Potbelly thread from...I dunno, 12-13 years ago?

In Nebraska (of course) they're called "frenchees", you can get them at the regional chain Don & Millie's (which makes a great greasy burger). It does seem like kind of a miss that they don't do a ham and cheese version.

I disagree with this assessment.
