So I'm not going to lie to you. I went down a SERIOUS Oregon Trail rabbit hole when researching this sandwich. No, nothing ever really came up about biscuits and fried chicken. And that's because these things aren't entirely native to Oregon. So why, then, am I making a fried chicken biscuit as a sandwich for Oregon. The answer is Pine State Biscuits in Portland. In May 2006, North Carolina transplants Kevin Atchley, Walt Alexander, and Brian Snyder started making their own biscuits and selling them at the Portland Farmers Market. The concept caught fire and in 2008 they opened their first store downtown. The Reggie Deluxe became their most popular sandwich and the rest is (short) history. Oregon has a new delicacy, inspired by the South. The city of Portland also claims to have the nation's best pizza which is, frankly, the funniest thing I've ever heard. I need to go to this city and do whatever drugs these people are doing that makes them so confident in their cuisine. None of which is known to come from Oregon but that's just America baby! Get on that trail and make a name for yourself in Oregon. That's the first thing you learned in school if you grew up in the 90s. And look at us now. Thriving.
This was entirely deconstructed on my own from Pine State Biscuits as to what was on this sandwich. This wasn't the most inspired endeavor but then again neither is this selection from Oregon. Come on, guys.
Ingredients:
1 Tube of premade biscuits, not a great start
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1lb chicken tenderloins
1 package of country gravy mix
1. Put the tube of premade biscuits in the oven and bake 25 minutes.
2. Dredge your chicken tenderloins in the flour mixture, back in egg, back in the flour, and fry in oil for 2 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel when finished.
3. Make your country gravy.
4. Fry one egg.
5. Cut your biscuit in half and place a fried chicken tenderloin on top. Pour some country gravy and top with fried egg.
