Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 60 grams Unsalted panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 500 ml Canola oil
- 2 pieces Whole grain burger buns
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to form four thinner pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Combine flour, cornstarch, and remaining black pepper in a shallow dish.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat the egg with water.
Step 5
Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate dish.
Step 6
Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Fry chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
Toast the burger buns with unsalted butter in a pan until golden brown.
Step 10
Build the burger by placing a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun, top with fried chicken, and cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
