So whats THE recipe for spicy fried chicken sandwich

Aviator

Broke down finally on not eating fried food at home and bought the T-Fal frier. Damn SGH! Dont need a truck sized one, at least yet.
Anyway new to deep fry and wand a lil hand on what to do to justify the purchase in the eyes of the spouse and fam.
I enjoy spicy fried chicken sandwich from.... chick fil a or i hop or other good southern places.

@Dyal_SC did one where he brined the chicken in pickle juice.

In my humble opinion, there isn't really a need for a deep fryer unless you're planning on cooking for a bunch of people.  I typically fry stuff weekly (I know it's not healthy), and use a simple skillet and oil for pan frying. You only need enough oil in the pan to cover half the meat.  Usually 5 min per side twice flipped, 20 min total for chicken, at 350 deg f to reach target IT. Less time for pork chops.

And for a good fried chicken sammich....    Dredge meat in flour, then in egg wash or buttermilk, then in panko bread crumbs.  Then fry.  Toss in buffalo sauce at the end if desired.  A brine of pickle juice will give you a chic fil a taste.

Love a spicy chicken sammich.  Thanks for the recipes posted.  Standing by for the finale.

Flour and Swamp Venom, 1:1 for the dredge. Dip in egg wash (beaten egg and Franks), about 3:1 ratio. Panko for the breading. Mix some more Swamp Venom with the panko if you are some kinda masochist. You can fry, either deep or skillet, but a good indirect roast at 400ºF will not "wash away" the spices. 
Chicken breast hit with the Jaccard or flattened cutlet style works best.

What is not right? Flavor, breading, crunch, spice, sticking to basket?

When deep frying temp is key.

I got drunk! He he
and the chicken was softly and slightly cremated. 
Thighs are thighs and I got too excited, i guess.
