Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

A recipe from Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition

This recipe outlines the essential steps to create the perfect Chicken Sandwich, incorporating all the key elements students crave: crispiness, juiciness, rich flavor, served hot in a soft, warm, and shiny bun.

Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 50 each Bread, buns, hamburger, WG, frozen
  • 50 each Chicken, whole muscle breast, breaded, precooked, ready to eat, frozen
  • As needed Pan spray, butter flavored
  • 3 tbsp House Spice Blend
  • 1 tbsp Hot Honey Glaze

Steps:

DAY PRIOR TO SERVICE:

  1. Pull buns from the freezer to dry storage.

DAY OF SERVICE:

  1. Place buns, bagged, in warmer to heat.
  2. Spray perforated sheet pans with pan spray and place frozen breaded chicken filets in a single layer.

    3. The perforations allow for greater air flow which results in crisper crusts on the breaded chicken.

  3. Cook chicken at 350°F for 14-16 minutes.

    4. Cook to 135°F or higher. A minimum internal temperature of 135°F is required for commercially processed, ready-to-eat-food that will be hot-held for service.

  4. Sprinkle breaded chicken with the House Spice Blend seasoning.
  5. Assemble crispy chicken sandwiches by placing one chicken filet in each bun.
  6. Drizzle the Hot Honey Glaze on top of the chicken patty. Then cover with top bun.

    7. No bare hand contact with ready to eat food.

  7. Spray the tops of the buns with pan spray. This creates a nice shine.
  8. Hot hold chicken sandwiches until served.

    9. Hold at 135°F or above.

    Breaded chicken should be batch cooked every 30-35 minutes throughout service to maintain flavor, juiciness, and texture.
