Bring that restaurant favour to your own kitchen with this easy, yet mouthwatering burger! A buttermilk corn flake crumb makes this chicken burger extra crunchy! This mouth-watering burger can be air-fried or baked. We topped it with a yoghurt slaw, pickled and fresh tomatoes, sandwiched between a freshly baked bun from the Food Lover’s Bakery.
Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Mix the eggs and buttermilk in another shallow bowl and place the crushed corn flakes in another bowl. Season to taste.
Cut the chicken fillets in half horizontally so that you keep the shape of the fillets – you basically just want thinner versions of the fillets.
If you want to, you can flatten the chicken out even more by pounding the halved fillets with a meat hammer.
Season the halved chicken fillets well on both sides. Dust them in the flour and shake off any excess. Next, dip them in the egg mixture and lastly cover them with the corn flakes.
If you want a more secure and dense crust, you can repeat this process with all of the chicken fillets.
Gently place the chicken on a greased baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes in the oven or 15-20 minutes in the air fryer, or until cooked and golden.
For the Potato Salad:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half and boil for about 15 minutes or until cooked. Drain and allow to cool.
Whisk together the oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic, and season well. Add the herbs and dress the potatoes with the dressing once cooled.
To Assemble:
Toast the burger buns to your liking for some extra crunch.
Combine the coleslaw mix with the yoghurt, lemon zest and juice, spices, and season to taste.
Place some rocket on the burger bun, followed by a chicken fillet. Place a few tomato slices and pickles on the chicken, followed by another chicken fillet.
Finish the burger with the zesty coleslaw and serve with the potato salad. Enjoy restaurant quality food right at home.
