Ingredients and Calories

Preparing the Chicken

Start by selecting two boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets. Rinse each piece thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This drying process is crucial for ensuring the coating adheres properly. For optimal cooking, slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner fillets, which will allow for better seasoning absorption and quicker cooking.

Marinating the Chicken

To enhance the chicken’s flavor and tenderness, prepare a marinade using buttermilk, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a mixing bowl, whisk these ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Submerge the chicken fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, or overnight if possible. This marination will infuse the chicken with moisture and flavor, making it incredibly juicy.

Creating the Breading

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading mixture. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch, adding a pinch of salt and some additional garlic and onion powder for flavor. This mixture will create a crispy outer layer when the chicken is fried. Set up a breading station by placing the seasoned flour in one bowl and beaten eggs in another. This will streamline the process and ensure even coating on the chicken.

Breading the Chicken

Once the chicken has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator. Allow any excess marinade to drip off before dipping each fillet into the beaten eggs. Make sure each piece is well coated in the egg before transferring it to the flour mixture. Press the chicken firmly into the flour to ensure a thick, even coating on all sides. For extra crunch, consider repeating the egg and flour steps for each fillet. This double-breading technique will give you a satisfying crispy texture.

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 into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil and keep it crispy.

Cooking the Bacon

While the chicken is frying, prepare the bacon in a separate skillet. Cook the bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally until it becomes crispy and browned. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. This step will add a smoky flavor and a satisfying crunch to your burger, perfectly complementing the juicy chicken.

Assembling the Burger

To assemble the BBQ Bacon Stacker®, start by slicing the burger buns in half and toasting them lightly until golden brown. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a crispy chicken fillet on top, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese and a few strips of crispy bacon. Drizzle a hearty amount of BBQ sauce over the bacon and cheese for that tangy kick. Add fresh lettuce and a slice of tomato, and top it all off with the other half of the bun.

Serving the Burger

Serve your Original Crispy BBQ Bacon Stacker® Burger Box with delicious sides like crispy French fries or a fresh coleslaw. For added enjoyment, offer extra BBQ sauce or dipping sauces on the side. Arrange the burgers on a platter, creating an appealing display for gatherings or family meals. The combination of juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and savory BBQ sauce will surely impress anyone who takes a bite.

By following these steps, you’ll create an unforgettable Original Crispy BBQ Bacon Stacker® Burger Box that combines flavors and textures to satisfy any craving. Enjoy!
