Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Begin by selecting a high-quality boneless chicken fillet. To ensure even cooking, gently pound the fillet to about half an inch thick, which helps retain moisture during frying. Next, create a marinade by combining buttermilk and Zinger spice mix in a bowl. Fully immerse the chicken in the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld and enhance tenderness.
Step 2: Create the Breading Mixture
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and an additional tablespoon of Zinger spice mix. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of spices. This mix will provide a crispy coating that’s bursting with flavor once the chicken is fried.
Step 3: Dredge the Chicken
After the marination period, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Let any excess buttermilk drip off before dredging. Take the chicken fillet and coat it in the prepared flour mixture, ensuring an even layer on all sides. Press the flour onto the chicken to form a sturdy crust. Shake off any extra flour to avoid clumps, which can lead to uneven frying.
Step 4: Fry the Chicken
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of the flour mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken to the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side until it reaches a golden-brown color and is crispy. A meat thermometer should read at least 165°F for safe consumption.
Step 5: Assemble the Burger
After frying, remove the chicken from the oil and allow it to drain on paper towels. Lightly toast the burger buns to enhance their texture. Begin assembling the burger by spreading a generous amount of spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the crispy chicken fillet on top, followed by a slice of fresh tomato and a couple of leaves of lettuce. This adds freshness and crunch to the burger.
Step 6: Add the Pickles
To elevate the burger’s flavor, layer a few slices of pickles on top of the lettuce. The tangy taste of the pickles complements the spiciness of the chicken perfectly. Cap the burger with the top half of the bun. This final touch not only adds flavor but also enhances the overall eating experience.
Step 7: Prepare the Fries
While assembling the burger, you can also prepare the fries. Cut fresh potatoes into thin strips and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes. This soaking step helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries. After soaking, drain and dry the potato strips thoroughly. Fry them in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, then season with salt immediately for optimal flavor.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
To complete your Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box, plate the burger alongside a generous serving of fries. Consider including extra spicy mayonnaise for dipping. Enjoy the combination of flavors and textures from the crispy chicken, fresh toppings, and delicious fries, creating a truly satisfying meal.
