Tips for Caesar Chicken Sandwich
Crispier Chicken: Let the breaded chicken rest in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before frying.
Sauce Balance: Adjust the lemon and Worcestershire to taste for tanginess.
Prep Ahead: You can make the sauce and bread the chicken in advance, then fry and assemble just before serving.
Storage: Store leftover chicken and sauce separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat chicken in the oven to maintain crispiness.
