Instructions

1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Place 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl; let come to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Thinly slice tomato into rounds; season with salt and pepper.
2. Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, ½ teaspoon Fry Seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
3. While potatoes roast, heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan.
4. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with remaining Fry Seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat. (If bacon did not yield enough fat, add a drizzle of oil.) Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly. Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate. Wipe out pan.
5. While chicken cooks, stir remaining garlic powder and a pinch of salt into bowl with softened butter until combined. If butter is not yet softened, microwave in 10-second intervals until soft but not melted. Halve buns; spread garlic butter on cut sides. Place buns, cut sides down, in pan used for chicken over medium-low heat. Toast, pressing down with a spatula, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
6. While buns toast, in a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise, smoky mustard and 1 teaspoon water.
7. Spread non-toasted sides of buns with a thin layer of smoky mustard sauce (the toasted sides will be on the outside). Fill buns with chicken, bacon and tomato. Divide sandwiches and potato wedges between plates. Serve with remaining smoky mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use a different type of bun?

Yes, you can substitute with any soft roll or bun, but potato buns add a nice sweetness and texture.

How do I make the smoky mustard sauce less spicy?

Reduce the amount of smoky mustard or add a bit more mayonnaise to mellow the heat.

Can I prepare the potato wedges ahead of time?

You can cut the potatoes and season them a few hours in advance, but roast them just before serving for best crispiness.
