Copycat Wendys Spicy Chicken Fillet Sandwich,A delicious spicy fried chicken sandwich in a toasted potato bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo.,My son woke up wanting Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich and I attempted to make it. I didn’t have pickled jalapeno juice so used sriracha sauce instead, but obviously not as much. I added sprinkle of hot sauce. Even though, it was not spice. Also, he’s lactose intolerant so used Lactaid milk instead of buttermilk. I’m not sure that made a difference. But I was puzzled by this: “Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the oven and place on a clean wire rack, set over a baking sheet. (Remove the chicken from the oven?!) When did the recipe called for using the oven.” I assume that’s an error, but it had me reading the recipe over and over to make sure I didn’t miss a step. Thanks for the effort nonetheless. My son liked them, but he added more hot sauce for spiciness.,No ingredients were wasted and i appreciate this recipe was measured exceptionally well. I followed the recipe exactly and i couldn’t taste any spice/spicy in the chicken. This was disappointing, as my husband and son love Wendy’s spicy chicken and upon eating their 2nd sandwich, they sprinkled Tabasco sauce and still had a problem tasting any spice. I would love the person who posted this tweak it until it is spicy, because it’s almost there.
