Preparing the Chicken
To start, take the chicken breast and, if necessary, slice it horizontally to create a thinner cutlet. This will ensure a crispy exterior and tender interior. Lightly tenderize the chicken using a meat mallet to enhance its juiciness during cooking. Next, immerse the chicken in buttermilk for at least one hour. This soaking process not only infuses flavor but also helps maintain moisture throughout cooking.
Coating the Chicken
While the chicken is soaking, set up a breading station. In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture to distribute the spices evenly. After the chicken has soaked, remove it from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge the chicken thoroughly in the seasoned flour, pressing down to ensure a good coating.
Frying the Chicken
Heat a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, adding enough oil to cover the bottom by about half an inch. Once the oil reaches around 350°F (175°C), carefully add the coated chicken. Fry the chicken for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. To ensure it’s fully cooked, cut into the thickest part; the juices should run clear. Once done, place the chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Preparing the Brioche Bun
While the chicken cools, prepare the brioche bun by slicing it in half. Toast the cut sides on a skillet or in a toaster until they turn golden brown. Toasting adds flavor and texture to the burger, making it less likely to become soggy once the toppings are added. Set the toasted halves aside, ready for assembly.
Assembling the Burger
To assemble your Zinger® Burger, start with the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun. Place the crispy chicken patty on top, allowing its warmth to slightly melt the bun. Next, add a fresh leaf of lettuce for a crisp texture, followed by a slice of tomato for freshness. Drizzle two tablespoons of Zinger sauce over the top. This sauce is typically a tangy blend that complements the spicy chicken perfectly.
Adding Final Touches
For extra flavor and crunch, consider adding sliced pickles or jalapeños. These ingredients can provide a zesty kick that enhances the burger’s overall taste. Once your toppings are in place, take the top half of the brioche bun and gently place it over the assembled ingredients. Press down lightly to keep everything together.
Serving the Combo
To complete the Zinger® Burger combo, serve it alongside a generous portion of crispy fries and your choice of drink. You can also add a side salad for a healthier touch. Enjoy the combination of spicy chicken, fresh toppings, and savory sauce with every bite. This meal is perfect for satisfying cravings and is sure to please anyone who loves bold flavors.
