Crispy Chicken Burger Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN BURGER WITH HONEY MUSTARD COLESLAW

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl. Add the buttermilk, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Mix together, cover and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour (up to over night)
• Preheat the oven to a low heat (to keep cooked chicken warm). Heat a large pan of vegetable oil (or preheat your deep fat fryer) until hot (you can test by dropping a small cube of bread in there, if it rises immediately to the top and starts to bubble rapidly, it's hot enough). You'll need at least 1 litre (4 cups) of oil - but make sure your pan is no more than one third full.
• Mix together the crispy coating ingredients in a small bowl. Take the chicken out of the fridge. Lift a piece from the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the crispy coating mixture - ensuring it's fully covered. Place on a tray and repeat until all of the chicken is coated.
• Once the oil is hot enough, add in 5 or 6 of the chicken tenders. You can add more or less depending on the size of your pan, just be sure not to overcrowd the chicken. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked in the middle. You can check this by cutting open a piece of chicken, if it's no longer pink in the middle, it's cooked.
• Place on a tray in the oven to keep warm whilst you cook the rest of the chicken.
• Make the coleslaw by using a mandoline to julienne the cabbage and carrot (or you can slice thinly by hand). Place in a bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice and black pepper. Stir together, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Now it's time to assemble. First, arrange the chicken tenders into four piles and place the gouda on top. Grill or place into a hot oven for a couple of minutes until just melted.
• Place the bottom of the brioche buns on four plates. Top with the lettuce leaves, followed by the cheesy chicken pieces.
• Spoon on the coleslaw, then sprinkle on the red onion slices and jalapeno slices. Place tops of the buns on top and serve.

CHICKEN BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix Garlic Mayo ingredients in a small bowl, set aside for 20+ minutes.
• Mix Seasoning in a flat bowl / dish.
• If required, pound chicken to about 1 cm / 2/5" thick. If wanting to be exact, trim to shape of rolls BUT ensure it is about 15% larger (it shrinks) (Note 2).
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat (if doing on BBQ, drizzle flat plate).
• Add onion and cook, turning regularly, for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then remove.
• While cooking the onions, preheat oven to 160C/320F. Split rolls, then lightly toast / warm the rolls (if using BBQ, just toast the cut side until crispy). Leave in turned off oven with door ajar while you cook chicken.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil into the same skillet, still on high heat.
• Dredge chicken in Seasoning, shake off excess, then place in skillet. Repeat.
• Cook for 2 ½ minutes until golden, then flip.
• Top with cheese then leave for 1 1/2 minutes. When the underside is golden, if the cheese is not yet melted, place lid on for 15 seconds (or tray or foil).
• Remove chicken from skillet onto plate. Cover loosely with foil while you start assembling the burgers.

CRISP CHICKEN BURGERS WITH LEMON MAYO

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Put the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until they're about half their original thickness. Whizz the toast in a food processor to rough breadcrumbs, then tip out onto a plate.
• Beat the egg and mustard together in a bowl and season. Dip the chicken into the egg, let the excess drip back into the bowl, then press into the toasty breadcrumbs. Put under the grill on a flat baking sheet and grill for about 10 mins, turning once, until golden and crisp on both sides and the chicken is cooked through.
• Beat the lemon zest, juice and lots of black pepper into the mayonnaise. Spread some of the mayo onto the bottom halves of the buns, top with a chicken breast and salad of your choice and serve.

NATASHA'S CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground chicken, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, onion, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Moisten hands and shape chicken mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, into flat, oval-shaped patties.
• Spread remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Roll patties in bread crumbs to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook patties in hot oil until deep brown in color on the bottom, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn patties and cook until other side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.

KFC-STYLE CRISPY CHICKEN BURGER

Steps:

• Slit the chicken fillet from the middle and flatten each piece. You will get 4 thin chicken fillets from 500g chicken.
• Marinate the chicken with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder, sriracha sauce and mustard sauce. Leave overnight or for 1 hour at least.
• Make a batter with all the ingredients written under 'Batter'. Add the milk gradually and keep checking the consistency. The batter shouldn't be too runny. It should be able to stick to the chicken fillets.
• Combine the 'Dry Mix' ingredients in a wide shallow bowl and keep aside.
• Dip the chicken fillets in the batter first, then thoroughly coat with the dry flour mix. Press hard when dredging with flour and slide your fingers on it to create flakiness. Then dip the same fillet in batter followed by flour mix. We want two layers of for ultra-crunchiness.
• Heat a pot with oil for deep-frying. On medium heat add the chicken fillets. Don't over crowd the pan, fry in batches. For the first 5 mins do not move the fillets. Cook the chicken for total 15 mins until cooked through. Don't forget to flip in between.
• When done, take a big strainer and put chicken fillets on it. Use it to drain excess oil. This will prevent them from getting soggy.
• Make a burger sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients.
• Start assembling your burger. Toast the buns. Take the bottom bun, on it put the crispy chicken, then 1-2 slices of cheese, couple of tomato slices, drizzle some of the burger sauce, add the salad leaf and close the burger with the top bun.
• Serve with french fries and enjoy!

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BURGER WITH HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING

Steps:

• Cut the chicken: Remove the chicken tenders from the chicken breast. And then slice the remaining chicken breast in two, lengthwise. This will give two thinner chicken pieces along with one chicken tender. You can also pound the chicken thinner with something heavy.
• Make the marinade: Whisk the egg. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl and add your prepared chicken breasts to it. Marinate for about 1 hour, covered in the fridge.
• Prepare the bread crumbs: To make the panko bread crumbs, we mix all the dry ingredients together in a large dish.
• Make the orange honey mustard: Mix all ingredients together, taste and season accordingly.
• Prepare your add-ons: Cut your preferred vegetables (for example spinach, tomato, avocado, onion and pickled jalapeños) and make the garlic mayo. Mix mayonnaise with garlic powder, season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast burger buns when chicken is almost done.
• Heat the oil: Pour 3 cups of oil into a large pan, make sure it will not be more than 1/3 full. The oil is hot enough when a drop of water into the oil sizzles. This will be at a temperature around 350-375 F (175-190C). The temperature will drop once the chicken is in.
• Bread the chicken: When the chicken has marinated for 1 hour, let the excess marinade drip off the chicken before placing it in the panko bread crumb mixture. Cover it nicely with the dry mixture, preferably using tongs.
• Fry the chicken: Add breaded chicken to the hot oil. Because the temperature is supposed to drop, I do suggest filling the pan, although not overcrowding it. If you cook one piece at a time, the oil will be too hot, burning the panko bread crumbs. Depending a little on the size of your chicken and the temperature of the oil, the chicken will be done at 5-8 minutes. If the oil doesn't cover the chicken entirely, flip them over once mid-frying. Remove from heat when they're golden brown. Sprinkle with some salt and drain on a paper towel.
• Assemble the burger: Slice your warm bun, spread garlic mayo on the bottom and orange honey mustard on the top. Get some greens and tomatoes on the bottom, add the chicken burger, onion, pickled jalapeños and avocado. Put the burger top on and you are officially ready to dig in.
