Sure, here’s a delicious recipe for Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burgers for four people:
Ingredients:
For the Buttermilk Fried Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Burger Assembly:
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced pickles
- Sliced red onion
- Mayonnaise
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Your favorite cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but overnight is even better for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Breading:
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Bread the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to adhere. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil, a couple at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Assemble the Burgers:
- Toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on the grill until lightly browned.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
- Add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and some red onion to each bun.
- Place a piece of fried chicken on top.
- If you’d like, add a slice of your favorite cheese to the hot chicken to melt it.
- Top with pickles and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
- Finish with the top half of the bun.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burgers while the chicken is still hot and crispy. They’re great with coleslaw, french fries, or a side salad.
These Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burgers are sure to be a hit at your next meal. Enjoy!
