Ingredients

• For the Chicken:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pickle juice (for marinating)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a spicy kick)
  • Peanut oil, for frying
• For Assembly:
  • 4 soft hamburger buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Dill pickle slices

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness or butterfly them to ensure even cooking.
   • Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Coating:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together milk and egg.
   • In another bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
3. Dredge and Fry the Chicken:
   • Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry with paper towels.

4. Prepare the Buns:
   • Brush the hamburger buns with melted butter and toast them lightly in a skillet or under a broiler until golden and crispy.
5. Assemble the Sandwich:
   • Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun.

• 1 tablespoon water

For the BBQ Sauce:

• 1 cup ketchup

• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

Additional:

• 1 white onion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Make the Pork Patties:
   • In a bowl, mix together the ground pork with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and water. The water helps to keep the patty moist.
   • Divide the mixture into 4-6 portions, depending on how large you want your sandwiches. Shape each portion into a rectangle that’s roughly the size of your hoagie rolls.
   • Place the shaped patties on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hours. This helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.
2. Prepare the BBQ Sauce:
   • Combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard in a saucepan over medium heat.
   • Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside to cool.
3. Cook the Pork Patties:
   • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
   • Remove the patties from the freezer and grill for about 4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
   • During the last minute of grilling, baste the patties generously with the BBQ sauce, turning them to coat both sides.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
   • Toast the hoagie rolls if desired for added texture.
   • Place a cooked pork patty on the bottom half of each roll.
   • Top with more BBQ sauce, followed by a few slices of onion and dill pickle slices.
   • Cap with the top half of the hoagie roll.
5. Serve:
   • Your copycat McRib sandwiches are now ready to be enjoyed. Serve them immediately while they’re warm and the sauce is still sticky.

Remember, the key to a good copycat McRib is the texture of the pork patty and the flavor of the BBQ sauce. You can tweak the sauce ingredients to match your preferred taste, making it smokier or sweeter as desired. Enjoy your homemade sandwich!

INGREDIENTS

• 8 slices white bread
• 8 slices good-quality bacon
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 12 ounces fresh goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons bacon fat (from cooking bacon)
• 2 bananas, peeled and sliced crosswise
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, for finishing

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a large wire rack on a sheet pan. Line a platter with paper towels. Arrange the bacon slices, well-spaced, on the rack. (The bacon will cook up crispier on the rack while the fat collects in the pan. This is key to the bacon remaining crisp in a grilled cheese.) Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp. Transfer the bacon to the prepared platter to drain. Scoop up 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the sheet pan to use for the spread.

2. To make the spread, in a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter and cheese, place over low heat, and stir just until soft and well mixed. Transfer to a food processor, add the bacon fat, and process until smooth.

3. Line up half of the bread slices on a work surface. Slather one-fourth of the spread on each slice, then top with one-fourth of the banana slices and 2 bacon slices. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices.

4. Line a large platter with paper towels. In a skillet over high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Turn down the heat to low, add 1 sandwich, and cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp on both sides and the cheese is melted. Transfer to the prepared platter to blot the excess grease. Repeat with the remaining butter and sandwiches.

5. Cut the sandwiches in half, plate, and serve.
