Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1/2 kg chicken breast cut into thin strips
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2–3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • extra all-purpose flour for coating
  • oil for frying
For Assembling
  • 4 burger buns
  • lettuce leaves
  • Mayonnaise
Optional
  • pickles
  • sliced cheese
  • sliced onion

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 shallow bowl
  • 1 plate
  • 1 deep pan
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 paper towel-lined plate
  • 1 knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 spatula

Method
 

  1. Add the chicken strips to a bowl. Add salt, red chilli powder, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, milk, and buffalo sauce.
  2. Mix everything well until the chicken is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. After marinating, add 2–3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour directly into the chicken mixture.
  4. Mix well until the marinade becomes slightly thick and coats the chicken pieces nicely. This helps the dry flour stick better and gives the chicken a crispy coating.
  5. Add extra all-purpose flour to a separate plate or bowl.
  6. Take one chicken strip at a time and coat it well in the dry flour. Press gently so the flour sticks to the chicken. Shake off any extra flour and place the coated pieces on a plate.
  7. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  8. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if needed.
  9. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked from inside. This usually takes about 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the strips.
  10. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain extra oil.
Toast and Assemble
  1. Lightly toast the burger buns for extra flavor.
  2. Spread your favorite sauce on the buns. Add lettuce, crispy chicken strips, cheese if using, and any toppings you like. Add more sauce on top and close the burger.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  1. For more spice, add a little extra buffalo sauce or chilli powder.
