Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• 3 slices cheddar cheese
• 3 sesame seed burger buns
• Lettuce and tomato slices (for topping)
• Your favorite sauce (like mayo, ranch, or hot sauce)

How to Make Triple Crispy Chicken Burger

1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (or overnight) in the refrigerator. This helps tenderize the chicken and adds flavor.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. For extra crunch, dip it back in the buttermilk and then coat again in the flour mixture.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken breasts and fry for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
5. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of chicken to melt.
6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
7. To assemble the burger, place one crispy chicken piece on the bottom half of each sesame seed bun. Top with another chicken piece, followed by the final piece. Add lettuce, tomato slices, and your favorite sauce before placing the top half of the bun on.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your epic Triple Crispy Chicken Burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying; it should sizzle when you add the chicken.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches if necessary to maintain the oil temperature.
• For added flavor, season the buttermilk with hot sauce or spices before marinating the chicken.

Easy Variations

• Swap out cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
• Add avocado slices or crispy bacon for extra indulgence.
• Use a brioche bun for a richer flavor and texture.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• Pickles to add tanginess
• Onion rings for that extra crunch factor
• A side salad for a lighter option
