Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 750 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 pieces Burger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 pieces Pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1.5 cm (0.5 inches).
In a medium bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the chicken breasts in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet to 175°C (350°F). Ensure the oil level is deep enough to fully submerge the chicken.
Fry the chicken breasts one at a time for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove the chicken and let it rest on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or under a grill until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey to create the burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, tomato slices, fried chicken, pickle slices, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free Southern Fried Chicken Burger!
