Dale Talde’s Ode to Wendy’s Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich

Chef Dale Talde of Pork Slope, Thistle Hill Tavern and Talde in Brooklyn shows Playboy senior editor Jeremy Repanich how to make his perfect take on Wendy’s fried Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The magic starts with a 7 oz piece of chicken, split in half, and marinated for 12 hours in buttermilk and a house hot sauce that’s 50/50 Frank’s and Sriracha. After, Chef Talde adds a little bit of salt to the chicken before covering the meat in a mixture of all-purpose flour, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and celery salt. He then dredges the chicken into an egg wash before dipping it back into the flour again to make an extra crispy, flaky crust. The meat then goes into 375 degree vegetable oil for 7 to 8 minutes. When it’s ready, the chicken is seasoned with hot chili oil before finding its final resting place on a toasted potato roll with ranch, shaved cabbage, extra ranch, and some pickles. It’s a sight to behold.

[@Conical187]

[@jeremyrepanich956]

My wife saw me take a bite of this sandwich and immediately turned the video off and told me, "I can't. You're disgusting."

[@alexyang1841]

She just wants you to look at her the way you looked at that sandwich

[@jeremyrepanich956]

[@piffpete420]

This host looks like a claymation character from Team America, 5 head!

[@neo1343]

"I want your first reaction to be the spicy chicken", proceeds to top it with a shit ton of pickles

[@toopkarcher4941]

and the tongue is on the bottom of the mouth so doesn't make sense anyway

[@Gaggingonacorpse]

Toopkarcher yeah, but despite that fact, even though your tongue comes from the bottom, what you taste first Is the top of the sandwich (IE pickles)

[@sanansa4567]

Wendy's used to be a decent place to get a quick sandwich or burger, the quality has gone downhill for years now, I used to like the deli sandwich with the roll which they no longer offer.

[@jhm85]

did they order this host from the bland white guy catalog?

[@TheDarwiniser]

fine, salad and baked salmon etc etc through the week, but at 3am on a saturday i could not think of anything better to eat after a night on the brew.... i would walk through a blizzard to order one of these. this man is a prophet.
