Zinger Burger Recipe
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless chicken fillets
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- Oil for frying
For the Burger:
- Burger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Mayonnaise or your choice of sauce
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine the chicken fillets with buttermilk. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Coat the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture until fully coated. For an extra crunch, you can double-dip by dipping back into the buttermilk and then into the flour mixture again.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken fillets until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble the Burger:
- Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add lettuce, place the fried chicken, add tomato slices and pickles if using, then top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve:
- Enjoy your homemade Zinger Burger with fries or your favorite side!
