Fri, 27 January 2023

Ingredients

4 cloves of garlic

Fresh thyme 

Lemon zest

300ml buttermilk

2 chicken breasts, butterflied

sea salt

250g Odlums flour

1 teaspoon chilli powder

1–2 teaspoon garlic powder

oil for frying 

300-400ml of buffalo hot sauce

2tbsp of butter

low-fat mayonnaise

2 wholemeal/brioche burger buns

Grilled crispy streaky smoked bacon

Lettuce of choice. 

Method

First, make the marinade. In a bowl smash up the garlic cloves, then add the lemon zest, the

thyme sprigs and the buttermilk. Place the butterflied chicken into it and allow to marinade for as long as you can minimum 2 hours. 

Once the chicken has marinated, mix 2 pinches of sea salt with the flour, chilli powder and garlic powder in another bowl. Dip each of the chicken breasts into this flour mix and make sure they are coated thoroughly.

Heat a pot filled with about 1–2cm of oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, place the

chicken into the pot and fry until crispy on both sides and fully cooked through.

For the sauce add the buffalo sauce to a saucepan and add the butter and bring to a medium simmer until thickened. 

Once the chicken is ready place it onto some kitchen paper to drain and sprinkle with a little

sea salt. Brush it with the buffalo sauce all over and glaze in the oven for 6-8mins at 180C.

Now build up your burger. Spoon some mayo onto the bun and then place the lettuce, bacon and then the chicken in the centre. Add more mayo to the top and then place it on. Enjoy.
