🧾 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, halved horizontally (to make 4 thinner fillets)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Breading:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (for extra crunch)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • Salt to taste

For Frying:

  • Oil for deep frying (canola or vegetable)

To Assemble:

  • 4 burger buns (toasted)
  • Mayonnaise or Burger King-style creamy sauce
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Pickles
  • Optional: cheese slice or spicy mayo

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Add chicken fillets and let them soak for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for max flavor).

2. Prepare the Breading

In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, and all seasoning spices. Mix well.

3. Coat the Chicken

Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess, and dredge in the flour mixture. Press firmly to ensure a thick, crispy coating. For extra crunch, dip back into buttermilk and dredge again.

4. Fry Until Golden

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 175°C (350°F). Fry each fillet for 5–6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack or paper towel.

5. Assemble Your Burger

Toast the burger buns. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add shredded lettuce, fried chicken, pickles, and top with the bun. Serve hot and enjoy!


🌶️ Optional Add-Ons

  • Add spicy sauce or jalapeños for a zesty kick
  • Top with melted cheese or crispy bacon
  • Swap in brioche buns for a gourmet twist
  • Use air fryer for a lighter version

📦 Storage Tips

  • Leftover fried chicken can be stored in the fridge for 2–3 days
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness
  • Don’t assemble burgers until just before serving to avoid sogginess
