Preparing the Chicken Breast
Begin your journey to the perfect Original Crispy Burger by selecting a high-quality chicken breast. Trim any excess fat and pound the breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking. This step helps ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and remains tender. Once prepared, season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder for added flavor.
Breading the Chicken
For the crispy coating, set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs. Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour, making sure it’s fully coated. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to ensure they stick well. This three-step process creates a delightful crunch when fried.
Frying the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches about 350°F (175°C), carefully lower the breaded chicken into the hot oil. Fry the chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it’s golden brown and fully cooked. Using a meat thermometer, confirm that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). After frying, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Toasting the Bun
While the chicken rests, prepare the burger bun. Slice it in half and toast the cut sides on a skillet or in a toaster until they’re lightly browned. Toasting adds flavor and prevents the bun from becoming soggy once the toppings are added. This simple step enhances the overall texture of your burger, making each bite more enjoyable.
Adding Fresh Toppings
Now it’s time to layer the toppings. Begin with a generous leaf of crisp lettuce on the bottom bun. This not only adds crunch but also acts as a barrier to keep the bun from getting soggy. Place a slice of fresh tomato atop the lettuce. The juicy tomato slice adds a refreshing burst of flavor that complements the crispy chicken perfectly.
Spreading the Mayonnaise
Next, spread a dollop of mayonnaise on the top bun. This creamy element enhances the flavor of the burger while adding a rich texture. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your taste. For an extra kick, consider mixing in a dash of hot sauce or adding some herbs to the mayonnaise for a unique twist.
Assembling the Burger
With all the components ready, it’s time to assemble your Original Crispy Burger. Place the fried chicken breast on the lettuce and tomato base. Add two slices of pickles on top for a tangy contrast to the richness of the chicken. Finally, crown your creation with the top bun, gently pressing down to secure everything in place.
Serving with Sides
Complete your meal by serving the Original Crispy Burger alongside a generous portion of crispy fries. These golden fries should be perfectly seasoned and provide an excellent textural contrast to the tender chicken. Pair the meal with a medium soft drink for a refreshing finish, making it a satisfying combination that everyone will love!
