How To Make Fat Sandwich

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Medium heat the oil in a small pot. Add in the garlic. Cook until it turns golden brown, for 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Add in the tomato puree, oregano, salt, black pepper and ½ cup water. Mix thoroughly until well-combined.
4. Bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to simmer, stir occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thick. This will take about 15 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat. Taste the mixture. Add more salt and black pepper, if required.
6. Add in the oil in a deep fry skillet over medium high heat.
7. Combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon oregano in a dish. Mix until well-combined.
8. Crack the eggs in a separate dish, add 1 tablespoon water. Whisk until well-combined.
9. First dip the chicken breasts (one at a time) in the flour mixture and then in the egg mixture. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with both the mixture.
10. Now gently place the chicken pieces in the heated oil. Fry the chicken pieces until they turn golden brown, for about 6 to 8 minutes.
11. Transfer the chicken pieces on a paper-towel lined tray. Season it with salt.
12. Over a medium-low heat, toast the hoagies bun on a medium-sized pan. Toast until they are slightly golden brown, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
13. Place the hoagies bun on a plate. On one side of the bun evenly brush it with the sauce, and then place the chicken pieces, French fries, mozzarella sticks, lettuce and tomato.
14. Serve and enjoy!

Trivia

• The sandwich was named after Lord Sandwich – a gambler who didn’t have time to eat during all his gambling, so he would ask his servants to bring him slices of meat stacked in between slices of bread

On an average in the UK, six chicken sandwiches are eaten every second.
