Ingredients and Calories

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Begin with a fresh boneless chicken fillet, ensuring it’s high-quality. For optimal cooking, gently pound the fillet to about half an inch thick. This step aids in retaining moisture during frying. Prepare a marinade by combining buttermilk with Zinger spice mix in a bowl. Submerge the chicken in this mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight if you have time, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply.

Step 2: Create the Breading Mixture

While the chicken marinates, prepare the breading. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and an additional tablespoon of Zinger spice mix. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution of spices. This blend will create a flavorful and crispy coating that’s essential for the Zinger experience once fried.

Step 3: Dredge the Chicken

After the marination is complete, take the chicken out of the refrigerator. Let any excess buttermilk drip off before dredging. Coat the chicken fillet thoroughly in the prepared flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the surface for a solid crust. Shake off any extra flour to prevent clumping, which can lead to uneven frying.

Step 4: Fry the Chicken

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test the oil’s readiness, drop a small amount of the flour mixture into it; it should sizzle right away. Carefully add the breaded chicken to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each piece for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side until it is golden brown and crispy. To ensure the chicken is safe to eat, check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F using a meat thermometer.

Step 5: Assemble the Burger

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Lightly toast the burger buns to enhance their flavor and texture. Start assembling your burger by spreading a generous amount of spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the crispy chicken fillet on top, followed by slices of fresh tomato and two leaves of crunchy lettuce. This layering not only adds freshness but also provides a delightful crunch.

Step 6: Add the Pickles

To elevate the burger’s flavor profile, layer a few slices of pickles on top of the lettuce. The tanginess of the pickles contrasts beautifully with the spiciness of the chicken, adding an extra layer of flavor. Finally, cap the burger with the top half of the bun. This finishing touch enhances both taste and texture, ensuring a satisfying bite every time.

Step 7: Prepare the Fries

While you prepare the burger, you can also make the fries. Cut fresh potatoes into thin strips and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes. This soaking helps remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries. After soaking, drain and dry the potato strips thoroughly. Fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy, then season with salt immediately after frying for maximum flavor.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

To complete your Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box, serve the burger alongside a generous portion of fries. You might also consider offering extra spicy mayonnaise for dipping to enhance the experience. Enjoy the satisfying combination of flavors and textures from the crispy chicken, fresh toppings, and delicious fries, ensuring a truly memorable meal that everyone will love.
