Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
Boneless chicken fillets | 4 pieces |
Salt | To taste |
Red chili powder | 1 tablespoon |
Black pepper | 1 tablespoon |
Baking powder | ⅓ tablespoon |
Garlic powder | 1 tablespoon |
Rice flour | 1 cup |
Corn flour | 1 cup |
All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
Eggs | 2–3 |
White vinegar | 3 tablespoons |
Mustard sauce | 3 tablespoons |
Cooking oil | For deep frying |
Mayonnaise | 3 tablespoons |
Round burger buns | 4 |
Lettuce or shredded cabbage | As needed |
Gouda cheese slices | 4 |
Place each chicken fillet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet until it reaches an even thickness. This helps the chicken cook evenly and remain tender.
In a bowl, combine the white vinegar, mustard sauce, salt, red chili powder, and garlic powder. Add the chicken fillets and coat them well. Let the chicken marinate for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Beat the eggs thoroughly in a separate bowl until smooth.
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, corn flour, black pepper, white pepper, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
Coat each marinated chicken fillet in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs. Return it to the flour mixture for a second coating, ensuring the entire surface is completely covered. This double coating creates an extra crispy crust.
Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan so it reaches about halfway up the sides. Heat the oil until it is hot, then carefully add the coated chicken. Fry each fillet until both sides are golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked. Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Spread a mixture of mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a crispy chicken fillet on the bun, then top it with a slice of Gouda cheese and allow the residual heat to melt it slightly. Add lettuce or shredded cabbage, along with sliced tomatoes and pickles if desired. Finish with the top bun and serve immediately.
Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breast if you prefer juicier meat.
Although breadcrumbs can be used, the combination of wheat flour, rice flour, and corn flour creates a crispier, flakier coating.
For the crispiest texture, make sure the chicken is fully submerged in hot oil while frying.
Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this lowers the oil temperature and reduces crispiness.
Serve the burgers hot with French fries, coleslaw, or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
