Ingredients and Calories

Preparing the Chicken Breast

Begin by selecting a plump, fresh chicken breast. Trim off any excess fat and gently pound the breast to achieve an even thickness, which promotes uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder for an aromatic touch. This simple seasoning lays the foundation for a flavorful burger.

Breading the Chicken

To achieve that signature crispy coating, set up a breading station with three bowls: one for all-purpose flour, one for beaten eggs, and the last for seasoned breadcrumbs. First, coat the chicken breast in flour, ensuring every part is covered. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip off. Finally, roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly to ensure an even layer that will fry up perfectly golden.

Frying the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the breaded chicken breast into the hot oil. Fry it for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. To check doneness, use a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Once cooked, remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Cooking the Bacon

While the chicken is frying, prepare the bacon. In a separate pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy and golden. This typically takes about 4-5 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. This step ensures that the bacon remains crunchy, adding an extra layer of texture to the burger.

Toasting the Bun

To enhance the flavor of your burger, slice the bun in half and toast the cut sides until they turn a lovely golden brown. You can use a skillet or toaster for this task. Toasting the bun not only adds flavor but also creates a barrier against moisture from the toppings, keeping the bun pleasantly firm. A well-toasted bun elevates the overall burger experience.

Layering Fresh Toppings

Start assembling the burger by placing a leaf of crisp lettuce on the bottom half of the bun. This adds crunch and freshness. Next, layer on a slice of juicy tomato, followed by a couple of slices of pickles for a tangy kick. Each layer contributes its own flavor and texture, making every bite delightful. The combination of fresh ingredients enhances the overall profile of the burger.

Spreading the BBQ Sauce

Now, take the fried chicken breast and place it on top of the fresh toppings. Drizzle a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the chicken, allowing it to soak in a bit. This sauce adds a smoky, sweet flavor that perfectly complements the richness of the chicken and bacon. If you prefer a stronger BBQ flavor, don’t hesitate to add a bit more. The sauce is key to this burger’s identity.

Assembling and Serving

Finish your burger by adding the crispy bacon slices on top of the BBQ sauce-covered chicken. Place the top half of the bun over the stack, gently pressing down to secure all the layers. Serve your Original Crispy BBQ Bacon Stacker® Burger alongside a generous portion of crispy fries, perfectly seasoned to enhance their flavor. A medium soft drink completes the combo, making this a satisfying meal for any occasion!
