McChicken® Delicious

To make the McChicken® Delicious, first take care of the artichoke sauce with "Grana Padano DOP": in a mixer, pour the artichokes 1, the white wine vinegar 2 and the Grana Padano DOP 3.

Also pour in the milk 4 and finally the mustard 5. Turn on the mixer and blend until you get a smooth cream 6. Set aside.

In a bowl, pour the egg and lemon juice 7, turn on the electric whisk at high speed 8. As soon as the mixture begins to change color, add the oil in a thin stream, keeping the whisks running 9.

Finally, add the salt 10 and mix again to combine. Now add the artichoke cream, previously prepared, to the mayonnaise in 2-3 times and mix 11 until you get a smooth sauce 12. Store in the fridge.

Take care of the batter. In a bowl, pour the 00 flour and lemon zest 13. Add the salt 14, marjoram, thyme and white pepper 15.

Pour the water 16, the beer 17 and mix with a whisk 18.

You will have to get a smooth batter 19. At this point, take the chicken breast: divide it in half, cutting it lengthwise 20, so as to obtain 2 slices just under 1 cm thick 21.

Then cut each slice in half to obtain squares 22. Pass each piece of chicken first in the semolina flour 23, making sure it is well covered, and then dip it in the batter 24.

Let the excess drain and transfer it to a baking dish where you have already poured the breadcrumbs 25. Bread it on all sides 26 and transfer it to a tray 27. Repeat the same operation for the other pieces to obtain 4 cutlets. Let the chicken rest and in the meantime take care of the other preparations.

Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet, well spread out 28. Cook in the oven with grill mode for 3-4 minutes until golden brown 29. Now fry the chicken: pour the oil into a pan and heat it until it reaches a temperature of 170°-180°. When the oil is hot, dip the cutlets 30.

While the cutlets are cooking, arrange the buns already cut in half on a baking sheet, with the crumb side facing you 31. After 2 minutes of cooking the chicken, bake the buns for 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown 32. At this point the chicken will also be ready. Drain it from the oil using a skimmer 32.

Transfer it to a tray and dry the excess oil with absorbent paper 34. Now slice the artichokes 35 and set them aside 36.

Assemble the sandwich: transfer the base of the bun to the cutting board, place the chicken cutlet 37, 2 strips of crispy bacon 39 and a lettuce leaf 40.

Put the sliced artichokes 40 on top and distribute the artichoke sauce with "Grana Padano DOP" 41. Close the sandwich with the top of the bread and immediately enjoy your McChicken® Delicious 42!
