I don’t know what it is about fried chicken that sometimes just gets into me. Just the fried stuff. Ok, you might know me more as a lover of salads and soups. And I absolutely LOVE those meals.
But there are just fried chicken sandwich kind of days. It’s what I’m craving sometimes and deep down I’m hoping that I’m like everyone else. Do you get those crazy cravings for super healthy meals or decadent sweets or for fried junky foods too?
Why this recipe for Sriracha Mango Chicken Sandwich works:
I love the combo of mango and spice in this chicken sandwich ( did you miss my Spicy Mango Chicken Wings with my easy quick homemade mango chutney?). For the sauce, I simply mixed some Sriracha sauce with some ranch dressing for a Sriracha ranch sauce-YUM!
For the chicken, I used my method for making the BEST Spicy Fried Chicken Fingers. I strongly urge you to try that recipe—it’s go-to to fried chicken fingers recipe, it’s a recipe I get asked for every SINGLE time someone tries it for the first time, and I share my favorite tips of making endless variations of it!
As for the toppings, I went with avocado, some cilantro leaves, a bunch of greens, some red onions, some green chilli (or jalapeño) and some marbled cheese.
The type of bread you chose is totally optional and will define the character of your chicken sandwich. I chose a crunchy ciabatta style baguette, but a good old burger bun works perfectly well here. It’s your choice of how you want your chicken sandwich to be.
I fried the chicken in my handy dandy deep fryer. Yes I have one, and at times like these I love it. Then I went ahead and put some fries in. YES indeed I did. 
How to make a Sriracha Mango Chicken Sandwich:
Toast the bread and slather it with some sriracha ranch sauce.
Top with greens, mango slices and some fresh cilantro leaves.
Add some avocado slices and red onion rings as well as some sliced chili peppers (optional).
Now, it’s time to add that chicken, you’ve prepped in advance.
Put the cheese on top of the still warm chicken to get a slight melt! And you are done!
Tips for success:
- Sliced peaches, pears, apples, blue cheese, goat cheese, Monterey Jack, Swiss cheese, feta cheese, sliced tomatoes and olives make for great toppings.
- Turn your Sriracha Mango Chicken Sandwich into a wrap using soft naan bread or tortillas.
- Skip the sriracha and use habanero chili sauce to make habanero ranch sauce, or use roasted garlic or chopped preserved lemons to flavor the ranch dressing to your liking.
