- Mix together little salt, red chili powder and flour. Keep aside. Beat egg with 2 tbsp water. Keep aside.
- Remove the chicken and place them in the flour and coat them well. Dip in the egg mixture and then roll in the bread crumbs. Rest for 10 mins.
- Deep fry in hot oil on a medium high heat until golden and crisp. Your meat thermometer should read 165F in the thickest part. Remove to a cooling rack. Fry the chicken in batches.
- Slice and toast the dinner rolls on a griddle. Place the fried chicken, then lettuce and tomato.

- Add this generously over the tomatoes. You can also add tomato ketchup or any other preferred sauce. Place the other half of the dinner roll.
