Directions for making the Perfect Fried Chicken Burger:

1. Marinate the Chicken

To create the perfectly alluring crispy and spicy chicken burger, begin by preparing the chicken. You can also go for our crisp and juicy recipe for fried chicken.

However, on the other hand, we will make one by using boneless chicken thighs for a tender, juicy base. In a bowl, mix red chili powder, hot chili sauce, salt, mustard paste, garlic powder, black pepper powder, lemon juice, and paprika powder. Coat the chicken thighs evenly in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge, allowing the flavors to infuse deeply.

2. Prepare the Liquid Batter

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the batter. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, corn flour, red chili powder, salt, milk, baking powder, lemon juice, and black pepper powder. Mix it well. Gradually add chilled water until the mixture becomes thick enough to coat the chicken but light enough to ensure a crispy texture.

3. Make the Thousand Island Sauce

A delicious chicken burger isn’t complete without a flavorful sauce. For this crispy chicken sandwich recipe, whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce, and mustard paste to create a rich and tangy Thousand Island sauce. Set aside to use during the burger assembly.

4. Coat and Fry the Chicken

Now comes the key step to achieving that irresistible crunch. Dip the marinated chicken in the liquid batter, ensuring an even coat. Afterward, dredge it in additional all-purpose flour to form the signature crispy texture.

Put it in chilled water for 2 seconds. Don’t fear of the coating to drain, even it works well in the perfect crunch of the crispy and spicy chicken burger. Again give it a full coat in all-purpose flour. Shake off excess flour. All done with the coating!

The next thing to go for is heat oil in a deep fryer or pan. The oil should be hot but not smoking to guarantee even cooking. Always prefer to use best oil for deep frying. Carefully fry the chicken until it turns golden brown and reaches a crispy finish.

Don’t forget to be vigilant while frying in a propane deep fryer as you need to regulate fried oil temperature to avoid burns and to have the perfectly fried golden and crispy chicken. Must use the thermometer for balancing and maintaining the temperature of the deep fryer oil.

Bioexcel is providing the best deep fryer in this concern as it holds regulatory knobs and a thermometer for smooth and easy maintenance of fried oil temperature. Deep fry the coated boneless chicken thighs in your stainless steel propane fryer over medium to high flame for 10-12 minutes until fully done with a golden crispy texture.

5.Assemble the Burger

To assemble the perfect crispy chicken sandwich, toast your burger buns lightly for added texture. Spread a generous amount of the Thousand Island sauce on each bun, followed by a crispy lettuce leaf.

Place the crisp and juicy fried chicken on top, then add a Cheese Slice as well. This cheese will melt perfectly on the hot chicken, adding a creamy layer of goodness. Place another crispy and spicy fried chicken piece on it. Top it off with the other half of the bun.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Serve your fried chicken burger with fries or a side of your choice for a complete chicken burger meal. The combination of crunchy, crispy and spicy chicken, creamy sauce, and fresh toppings will make this burger a hit every time.

 

Add-Ons for the Perfect Fried Chicken Sandwich:

  • Boneless chicken thighs work best because they stay juicy and tender even after frying.
  • For extra crispiness, you can double-coat the chicken in flour before frying.
  • Experiment with different levels of spiciness by adjusting the chili powder and hot sauce in the marinade.

Why This Recipe Stands Out

Whether you’re making a KFC burger clone or a classic zinger burger, this recipe gives you everything you need to make a restaurant-quality crispy burger at home. The secret lies in the combination of a flavorful marination, a well-balanced batter, and careful frying technique with the perfect fryer as well! Plus, the added Thousand Island sauce elevates the taste, making this a complete chicken burger meal that’s hard to resist.

Conclusion

This crispy chicken sandwich recipe will satisfy all your cravings for a perfect fried chicken burger. It's a fantastic option for lunch, dinner, or anytime you're in the mood for something indulgent. The blend of textures from the crispy chicken to the soft burger buns, topped with tangy sauce and fresh lettuce, ensures that every bite is as delightful as the last.
