Ingredients and Calories

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start with a fresh chicken fillet, ensuring it’s high-quality. To achieve uniform cooking, gently pound the fillet to about half an inch thick. This will help keep it tender and juicy during frying. Once prepared, mix buttermilk with Zinger spice mix in a bowl to create a marinade. Submerge the chicken fillet in this mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight if possible, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Step 2: Create the Breading Mixture

While the chicken marinates, prepare the breading. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and an extra tablespoon of Zinger spice mix. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of spices. This blend will give the chicken a crispy and flavorful coating that is essential for the Zinger experience.

Step 3: Dredge the Chicken

Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator and let any excess buttermilk drip off. Next, dredge the chicken fillet in the prepared flour mixture. Make sure to coat it evenly and press the flour onto the chicken to form a solid crust. Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping, which can result in a soggy texture when frying.

Step 4: Fry the Chicken

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of the flour mixture into it; it should sizzle right away. Carefully place the breaded chicken into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F for safe consumption.

Step 5: Assemble the Burger

Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Lightly toast the burger buns to add a nice crunch. Start assembling the burger by spreading spicy mayonnaise generously on the bottom half of the bun. Place the crispy chicken fillet on top, followed by a slice of fresh tomato and two leaves of lettuce for added crunch and freshness.

Step 6: Add the Pickles

To elevate the flavor of your burger, add a few slices of pickles on top of the lettuce. The tanginess from the pickles balances the spiciness of the chicken, creating a delicious combination. Finally, place the top half of the bun over the pickles. This simple addition enhances both flavor and texture, making each bite enjoyable.

Step 7: Prepare the Fries

While you assemble the burger, you can also prepare the fries. Cut fresh potatoes into thin strips and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes. This soaking helps remove excess starch, which contributes to a crispier fry. After soaking, drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly before frying. Cook the potato strips in hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy, seasoning them with salt immediately after frying.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

To complete your Hot & Spicy® Zinger® Burger Box, serve the burger alongside a generous portion of fries. Consider offering extra spicy mayonnaise for dipping. Enjoy the satisfying blend of flavors and textures, from the crispy chicken to the fresh toppings, making this meal a delightful experience for everyone.
