Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Oil, for frying
• 2 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 1/4 cup burger sauce (or your favorite condiment)

How to Make Double Decker Chicken and Beef Burger

1. Start by preparing the chicken. In a bowl, soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.
2. While the chicken is soaking, make the beef patties. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Form into two equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and cayenne pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat each piece in the flour mixture.
5. In a deep pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. To assemble the burger, spread burger sauce on the bottom half of the sesame seed bun. Place one beef patty on top, followed by the fried chicken piece, another beef patty, and finally, the fresh tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Double Decker Chicken and Beef Burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to achieve a crispy texture.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of both the beef and chicken for safety.
• Feel free to add more toppings such as pickles, lettuce, or crispy bacon for extra flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Use grilled chicken instead of fried for a lighter version.
• Add avocado slices for a creamy texture.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side
• A fresh garden salad
• Onion rings for an extra treat
