• загальний час: 1 hour 23 minutes

Інгредієнти

For the Chicken:

2 boneless chicken thighs or breasts

200ml buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Coating:

100g plain flour

40g cornflour

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp white pepper

Pinch of salt (optional: MSG)

To Fry:

Neutral oil for deep/shallow frying

To Serve:

2 brioche buns, toasted

Mayo mixed with a squirt of sriracha or hot sauce (or use spicy mayo)

Iceberg lettuce, shredded

Optional: cheese slice, pickles, or sliced tomato

1. Marinate the Chicken

Напрямки

Mix the chicken with buttermilk, spices, and salt. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is better). (I did about 10 mins & was still delicious)

Make the Coating

Mix flour, cornflour, and all coating spices in a bowl. Remove chicken from the marinade and dredge in the flour mix. Press firmly to get those crispy bits.

Double Dredge (Optional for Extra Crunch)

Dip chicken back into a bit of buttermilk, then dredge again in flour mix.

Fry

Heat oil to 170–180°C. Fry chicken for 5–7 mins (thighs) or 6–8 mins (breasts) until golden and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack. (You can test with a piece of bread or potato to see if it floats)

Assemble the Burger

Toast the buns, spread spicy mayo on both sides, layer lettuce, then the crispy chicken, then more sauce. Add extras if using.
