Ingredients and Calories

Preparing the Chicken

To start your Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box, begin with two chicken breast fillets. Rinse them under cold water, and then pat them dry using paper towels. This ensures the coating will adhere better during frying. After drying, slice the fillets horizontally to create thinner pieces, which will cook more evenly and absorb more flavor. Season both sides of the chicken fillets with salt and pepper, enhancing the taste right from the start.

Marinating for Flavor

Next, create a marinade to infuse the chicken with a burst of flavor. In a mixing bowl, combine hot & spicy seasoning with some buttermilk or yogurt. Whisk the ingredients together until they are fully combined. Submerge the chicken fillets in this marinade, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours, or preferably overnight. This step allows the spices to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful burger.

Preparing the Breading

While the chicken marinates, it’s time to prepare the breading mixture. In a separate bowl, combine flour, additional hot & spicy seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together to ensure an even blend. This mixture will create a crispy crust that complements the juicy chicken. Set up a breading station by placing the seasoned flour mixture in one bowl and a beaten egg in another. This will streamline the breading process and help keep your workspace organized.

Breading the Chicken

Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the fridge. Allow any excess marinade to drip off, then dip each fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Next, transfer the chicken to the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a generous coating. For an extra crunch, you can repeat the process by dipping the chicken back into the egg and then into the flour again. This double coating will enhance the texture and create a delicious crust when fried.

Frying the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the breaded chicken fillets into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) confirms that the chicken is safely cooked. Once finished, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Assembling the Burgers

While the chicken drains, prepare the burger buns. Toast them lightly in a pan or toaster for added texture and flavor. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then add a piece of crispy chicken on top. Layer fresh lettuce and slices of tomato for crunch and freshness. If you like a kick, drizzle some optional hot sauce over the chicken before adding the top half of the bun. This combination of flavors will elevate your burger to the next level.

Serving with Fries

To complete your Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box, serve the burgers alongside crispy French fries. You can either bake them or fry them according to your preference. Place the fries in a separate container or on the same plate as the burgers for a fun presentation. For an extra touch, consider serving additional hot sauce or dipping sauce on the side. This meal is perfect for enjoying at home or sharing with friends at a gathering, delivering a satisfying burst of flavor in every bite.

By following these steps, you’ll create a mouthwatering Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box that combines juicy, spicy chicken with classic sides. Enjoy the deliciousness!
