Preparing the Chicken
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. If they are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and becomes crispy on the outside. Tenderizing the chicken lightly with a meat mallet can enhance juiciness during cooking. Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for a minimum of one hour to infuse flavor and retain moisture throughout the frying process.
Coating the Chicken
While the chicken is soaking, prepare a breading station. In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mixing these dry ingredients well will ensure an even distribution of spices throughout the coating. Once the chicken has finished soaking, remove it from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres properly.
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. When the oil reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. To check for doneness, cut into the thickest part; the juices should run clear. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Cooking the Bacon
While the chicken is cooling, cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat. Fry the bacon until it reaches a crispy texture, which usually takes around 5-6 minutes. Flip the bacon slices occasionally to ensure even cooking on both sides. Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease. The savory, smoky flavor of the bacon will enhance the overall taste of the burger.
Preparing the Brioche Buns
Next, prepare the brioche buns by slicing them in half. Toast the cut sides in a skillet or toaster until they become golden brown. Toasting adds flavor and texture to the burger while helping to prevent sogginess after adding the toppings. Once toasted, set the bun halves aside, ready for assembly. The warmth of the toasted bun will complement the crispy chicken beautifully.
Assembling the Burger
To assemble your Zinger Stacker® Burger, start with the bottom half of one toasted brioche bun. Place one crispy chicken patty on top, then add a slice of cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt slightly. Layer the second crispy chicken patty on top of the cheese. Follow this with two slices of crispy bacon for added crunch. Add a fresh leaf of lettuce and two slices of tomato to enhance the flavor profile.
Adding Final Touches
For an extra kick, drizzle two tablespoons of Zinger sauce over the assembled burger. This tangy and spicy sauce perfectly complements the layers of crispy chicken and bacon. Place the top half of the brioche bun over the stacked ingredients and gently press down to secure everything in place. To complete your meal, serve the Zinger Stacker® Burger with a side of crispy fries and your favorite drink, creating a satisfying combo that’s sure to please.
