Ingredients
- 300 g chicken thigh fillets boneless, skin on, two pieces
- 2 burger buns sliced in half
- 4 slices of Kraft Singles or similar
- ½ lettuce iceberg or similar
- vegetable oil for deep frying
Seasoned Flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp sweet paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
Spicy Oil Seasoning
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp salt and pepper
Special Sauce
- 30 ml mayonnaise
- 25 ml ketchup
- 25 ml American mustard
- 1 tbsp pickled jalapeños finely chopped
- 1 tbsp pickled gherkins finely chopped
Instructions
- Mix the seasoned flour well and coat the chicken pieces all over. Leave it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove and re-coat with flour after one hour. You want all surfaces of the chicken to be coated in the seasoned flour.
- When ready to fry the chicken, prepare the special sauce and the spicy oil seasoning – the spicy oil seasoning in a heat-proof container. Toast the burger buns.
- Preheat the oil in a deep pan or deep fryer to 180°C (355°F).
- Re-flour the chicken and add to the oil. Do not crowd the pan. You may have to cook pieces individually if not using a deep fryer. Cook for 8 minutes, turning once if using a pan. The chicken should be a lightish golden brown and crispy. Rest the chicken on a wire rack over a sheet pan.
- Add 100 ml of the frying oil to the spicy oil seasoning and mix. Using a silicone pastry brush, coat the chicken pieces with the oil.
- Assemble the sandwich, with lettuce, then the chicken, the sauce and the cheese pieces and eat immediately.
