Preparation
- Step 1
Marinate the chicken in a mixture of the lemon juice and Creole pepper for a couple of hours.
- Step 2
Heat the shortening until smoking. Season the chicken pieces with salt and dredge them lightly with flour. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise with the thyme, tarragon, chili and scallions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix the olive oil and vinegar in a separate bowl and season. Toss the lettuce leaves in the dressing and arrange on a platter.
- Step 4
When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it in slices. Coat with the mayonnaise and place in the center of the lettuce leaves.
