Sandwiches are usually meat, cheese and/or vegetables placed between two slices of bread. They are featured in many video games, usually to replenish health.
Baked crispy chicken? Baked, Mr. Scanlon? As a boy of Southern descent, I am personally offended at your brazen evasion of fried chicken and all the health issues it causes. How dare you, sir. How dare you.
Being stuck in a Uni dorm with just a microwave, I will probably just buy microwaveable chicken and just mash the fritos into it for the sandwich. Oughta do, oughta do... :(
You should strongly consider using Panko instead of Fritos. You lose the comedy value, but you'll also lose a lot of the calories, and you wont lose any flavor. Add a dash of salt to the breading to compensate.
boyish good looks, adept archer, natural talent for flying- and now aspiring chef? it's damned good thing you're allergic to gluten, or else you'd be a threat to us all!
joking aside- thanks for sharing, will have to give this one a shot!
I will be making this as soon as possible. I hate mayo though, so I may substitute it with bacon and/or some kind of cheese. You know, so it's more healthy.

As fun as the Fritos are this person is correct. Panko will give you better coverage, more crunch/texture, and will work even better with seasonings.
Now I'm off to buy Fritos and Panko for a comparison! Worst case I end up with a Fritos and Panko breaded chicken sandwitch!
@drewbert: Have you ever tried sriracha mixed with Japanese mayo? I first started putting them together to make spicy mayo for homemade sushi and then realized it goes amazing with everything. Something about the Japanese may gives it a zing our homegrown version doesn't have, although I can't put my finger on what it is exactly.
Really happy you took the time to actually go super in-depth into your dope sandwich making process. You are the best duder, and tomorrow my lunch will be too.
@drewbert: Try whisking some honey into your Sriracha and then using that as a sauce, I think you'll find it really complements the corn flavor of the fritos. As a huge fan of Sriracha and anything Southeast Asian (phô is my comfort food) I use this sauce all the time with chicken on the grill. No reason it couldn't work with corn chip breading.
This could also be a way for you to introduce people to the dish who aren't hardy enough to tolerate straight up Sriracha. My other go-to Sriracha-based sauce is 2.5 parts Olive Oil Mayo, 1 part Sriracha, and lime juice. You could dip a car bumper in that stuff and it would taste amazing.

That's a lot of salt.
Salt makes things taste good! I think the chief mistake home chefs make when cooking (besides overcooking everything) is not seasoning their food liberally enough.
@drewbert: Whats going on with the bread? What kind was it? Was anything done to it besides being toasted? How was it toasted? It looked pretty awesome.
Damn, I would make this if we had fritos in Australia. :( Thanks for the recipe though, Drew! Maybe I can find a substitute and whip one up. Someone should find a way to combine this sandwich and Dave's chilli. It would be like an explosion of awesomeness.
