Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F
  1. 1

    Roast the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/4" fries and pat dry.

    Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into an even layer.

    Roast in hot oven until browned and tender, 25-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While fries roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Cover chicken with plastic wrap and use a heavy object to pound to an even 1/2" thickness. Gallon bags make clean up easier and are made of thicker plastic. If you don’t have a disposable bag, use plastic wrap.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Evenly spread panko on a plate.

    Evenly spread mayonnaise on both sides of chicken.

    Place chicken onto plate with panko, pressing gently to adhere to both sides. Rest, 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Line another plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.

    After 5 minutes, carefully lay chicken away from you in hot oil. Flip every 1-2 minutes until golden-brown and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-14 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to towel-lined plate. Season both sides with a pinch of salt.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce, Heat Buns, and Finish Dish

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine gochujang (to taste), hot honey (to taste), and 1 Tbsp. salted butter. Microwave until butter is melted, 20-30 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave and stir to combine.

    Heat buns to your preference using a toaster or microwave.

    Alternatively, place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add buns, cut-side down, to hot, dry pan. Toast until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping bottom bun with chicken, sauce (to taste), pickles (to taste), then top bun. Bon appétit!
