The Caesar salad crispy chicken combination is one of summertime's most popular meals. This version gets a citrusy kick of heat with the addition of Yuzu Sriracha!
Chicken and Caesar salad are about as iconic of a pairing as peanut butter and jelly or dumplings and chili oil. One of the trending adaptations of this pairing is to serve the caesar salad on a crispy chicken cutlet, which puts the focus on the protein but retains all of the textures and flavors folks love about crispy chicken Caesar salads.
On this version, the perfect garnish is Lee Kum Kee Yuzu Sriracha Sauce. The aromatic burst of citrus and warming garlicky heat of the sriracha elevate the flavors of the Caesar salad while adding a spicy backnote. Give it a try using the below recipe to experience the flavor difference for yourself!
Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a rack or paper towels.
In a bowl, toss romaine with Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice.
Place crispy chicken cutlets on plates and top with the Caesar salad.
Drizzle Lee Kum Kee Yuzu Sriracha Sauce over the top and finish with extra Parmesan before serving.
