  3. Step 3: Make Garlic Butter – Melt salted butter, stir in minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. Spread on hoagies or baguettes.
  4. Step 4: Toast the Bread – Preheat broiler to 450°F and toast the garlic butter bread for 3-4 minutes until golden.
  5. Step 5: Prepare Dressing – Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Assemble Sandwich – Place fried chicken on toasted garlic bread, add romaine lettuce, drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with Parmesan, and top with another slice of toasted bread.
  7. Step 7: Serve Immediately – Slice sandwiches and serve warm with sides.
