For the Coating

- 2 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
For Frying and Assembly

- 2 brioche burger buns
- 1 tbsp 15g butter
- 2 tbsp 30g mint mayonnaise
- 4 onion rings
- 4 tomato slices
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- I slice 1 chicken breast in half horizontally and prick with a toothpick. In a bowl, I mix ¼ cup yogurt, 1.5 tsp red chili, 2 tsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 tsp onion paste, and ½ tsp salt. I coat the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours (or overnight) for a tender Fried Chicken Burger.
Prepare the Coating
- I sift ½ cup flour and ¼ cup cornstarch into a bowl, adding 2 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp parsley, ½ tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp salt. I stir to combine for a crispy fried chicken sandwich coating.
Coat the Chicken
- I let the marinated chicken reach room temperature, shake off excess marinade, and dip each piece in the coating mix. I dip back into the marinade, then coat again for an extra-crispy Fried Chicken Burger. I shake off excess flour.
Fry the Chicken
- In a deep pan, I heat 2 cups oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat. I fry one chicken piece at a time on medium-low for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and 165°F (74°C) internally. I drain on a wire rack for a crunchy chicken burger.
Toast the Buns
- I slice 2 brioche buns, spread 1 tbsp butter on cut sides, and toast in a non-stick pan over medium heat until golden for this fried chicken sandwich.
Assemble and Serve
- I spread 1 tbsp mint mayo on each bun base, add 2 onion rings and 2 tomato slices, place a fried chicken piece, and top with the bun lid. I serve this Fried Chicken Burger hot for maximum flavor.
