Marinating the Chicken
Begin by marinating the chicken breast fillets for the Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger. In a bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot sauce until well combined. This marinade not only infuses the chicken with flavor but also helps tenderize the meat, making it juicy. Submerge the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, for maximum flavor.
Preparing the Breading Mixture
While the chicken is marinating, you can prepare the breading mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. This blend will create a crispy coating with a kick. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring even distribution of the spices. This mixture is essential for achieving that signature crunch when the chicken is fried.
Coating the Chicken
After the chicken has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Allow any excess marinade to drip off, then dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture. Press the chicken gently into the mixture to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess flour before placing the breaded chicken on a clean plate. This step is crucial for a crispy finish, as too much flour can lead to a gummy texture.
Frying the Chicken
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the hot oil, being mindful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Assembling the Burger
While the chicken is resting, prepare the burger buns. Lightly toast the buns on a skillet or in a toaster for added texture. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a piece of the hot and spicy chicken on top of the mayo, followed by a leaf of crisp lettuce and a slice of fresh tomato. The combination of flavors will complement the spicy chicken beautifully.
Serving with Sides
To complete the Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box, consider pairing the burgers with some delicious sides. Classic options include crispy French fries or onion rings, which provide a satisfying crunch. You can also serve a small side of coleslaw for a refreshing contrast to the spicy chicken. Arrange the sides neatly in a box alongside the burgers for a visually appealing presentation.
Enjoying the Meal
Once everything is assembled, it’s time to enjoy your homemade Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box. The aroma of the fried chicken, coupled with the fresh toppings, will entice your senses. Take a moment to appreciate the crispy texture and spicy flavor before taking your first bite.
