Equipment

  • 1 Deep fryer or skillet (for frying the chicken fillets)
  • 1 Tongs (for flipping the chicken)
  • 1 Knife (for slicing the vegetables)
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Plate (for assembling the burger)
  • 1 Bowl (for breading the chicken)
  • 1 Paper towels (for draining excess oil)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts about 4 oz each
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko for extra crispiness
  • 2 sesame seed buns
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Lettuce leaves 2-4 leaves, depending on preference
  • 2 slices of tomato
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup (optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chicken fillets: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. If necessary, flatten them to an even thickness using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
  • Bread the chicken: In one bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, pour buttermilk. Dip the chicken breasts into the buttermilk, then coat them in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breading sticks. Finish by dipping the chicken in panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  • Fry the chicken: Heat enough oil in a deep fryer or skillet to submerge the chicken fillets. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), carefully place the chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.
  • Toast the buns: While the chicken is frying, toast the sesame seed buns in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Assemble the burger: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom of each bun. Place the crispy chicken fillet on the bottom bun. Add a layer of lettuce and tomato slices. Optionally, add a bit of ketchup. Top with the other half of the toasted bun.
  • Serve: Serve the McCrispy Chicken Burger with your favorite side dishes like fries or a salad.
