Ingredients and Calories

Preparing the Chicken

Begin by selecting two boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets. Rinse each piece under cold running water, then pat them dry with paper towels. This step is important to help the coating stick better during frying. Trim any excess fat from the chicken to ensure even cooking. Cut each fillet horizontally to create thinner pieces, which will enhance the tenderness and allow for more flavor absorption during the marination process.

Marinating the Chicken

Next, prepare a marinade to infuse flavor into the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, and onion powder, stirring until well mixed. Place the chicken fillets into the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. If time allows, marinate overnight to achieve maximum flavor and tenderness. The acidity in the buttermilk will break down the chicken’s proteins, resulting in a juicier end product.

Creating the Breading

While the chicken marinates, it’s time to create the breading. In a separate bowl, mix together all-purpose flour and cornstarch with a pinch of salt. This combination will provide the desired crunch when fried. To enhance the flavor of the coating, you can add a bit more garlic or onion powder if desired. Set up your breading station with the flour mixture in one bowl and the beaten eggs in another, which will help to create a crispy outer layer.

Breading the Chicken

Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the fridge and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Dip each fillet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s completely coated, then transfer it to the flour mixture. Press firmly to ensure an even and generous coating on all sides. 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-breading method results in a thicker, crispier crust.

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 place the breaded chicken fillets in the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) indicates the chicken is fully cooked. Once fried, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Assembling the Burger

While the chicken cools slightly, prepare the burger buns. Slice them in half and toast them lightly until golden. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a crispy chicken fillet. Add a layer of fresh lettuce and a slice of tomato on top of the chicken to provide a refreshing crunch. If you enjoy pickles, add a few slices for an additional tangy flavor. Finally, place the top half of the bun over the fillings.

Serving the Burger

To complete your Original Crispy Burger Box, serve the assembled burgers alongside your favorite sides, such as crispy French fries or a fresh salad. You can also offer extra condiments, such as ketchup or hot sauce, for those who like an added kick. Arrange the burgers on a platter for an appealing presentation, making them perfect for a family meal or a casual get-together with friends. This combination of flavors and textures will surely please any crowd.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious Original Crispy Burger Box that highlights juicy, crunchy chicken in a classic burger format. Enjoy the delightful flavors with every bite!
