Whenever you serve a Raising Cane's Chicken sandwich, you must have all the right sides and components to go with this tasty sandwich.

Crispy golden French fries are a classic choice, and my homemade french fries are right for this dish. You can also serve a dollop of refreshing coleslaw, which adds a nice contrast, with its crunch and tanginess cutting through the richness of the sandwich. 

Be sure to serve a tall glass of Southern sweet tea to complete this meal.

How to Make This Iconic Copycat Chicken Sandwich

The best part about this sandwich, in my opinion, is the delicious crunchy breading on the outside.

Raising Cane’s Chicken Sandwich consists of a boneless chicken breast, perfectly spiced and fried until golden. Serve it on a soft brioche bun with veggies if you want and Cane’s signature dipping sauce. 

I like my Chicken sandwich with just sauce and a side of pickles, but you can add whatever you want to your sandwich.

Ingredients You’ll Need To Make This Raising Cane’s Chicken Sandwich

To prepare this delicious sandwich, here’s what you’ll need:

• 4 buttery brioche buns
• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, pounded and flattened
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 4 tbsp of Cane’s signature dipping sauce
• lettuce and tomatoes (optional)
• 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper

I like to let my chicken marinate in a cup of milk that has been seasoned with some of the spices. Then, when I dredge it, I let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes before frying it.

Step 1: Prepare the Flour

Mix the flour, smoked paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well to create a seasoned flour. Set it aside.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour mix. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. This is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch.

Step 3: Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pot like a dutch oven. Once the oil reaches 350°F, carefully add the coated chicken. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

If your chicken is not cooked through, simply place it in a 350-degree oven to finish cooking. This will prevent the chicken crust from getting burned.

How to Store the Leftovers

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last about 3-4 days. For best results, reheat in an oven or air fryer to retain that crispy texture.
