Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast tenders
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tbsp Dill pickle brine
- 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 lb Russet potatoes
- 2 Texas toast slices
- 2 cups Shredded cabbage slaw mix
- 1/4 cup Light mayo
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
Steps
- Brine the tenders at least 4 hours, overnight if you can — buttermilk, pickle brine, and salt. Cane’s marinates theirs around the clock, and the seasoned-all-the-way-through bite starts here.
- Stir the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and plenty of black pepper; dredge the tenders, pressing hard, and rest 10 minutes.
- Air-fry at 400°F for 11 to 13 minutes, flipping once, until the crust turns craggy and amber.
- Crinkle-cut the potatoes if you have the cutter (thick sticks work too), toss with a teaspoon of oil and salt, and bake at 425°F until the ridges crisp.
- Whisk the mayo, ketchup, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and black pepper into the sauce — it should pour in a slow ribbon and taste peppery first, tangy second.
- Dress the slaw with vinegar and a pinch of sugar; griddle the Texas toast in a dry pan until one side is deeply golden.
- Build the box: four fingers, fries, slaw, toast, and the sauce front and center. At Cane’s the sauce placement is not decoration — everything routes through it.
