Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 200g plain flour
  • 100g corn flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 200ml milk
  • 200g honey
  • 50g any hot sauce
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons chili flakes
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 4 burger buns
  • Spicy mayo (or any preferred sauce)
  • Lettuce (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili flakes, black pepper, and garam masala. Coat the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the flour mixture: In a shallow dish, mix plain flour, corn flour, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Make the wet batter: In another dish, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth.
  4. Coat the chicken: Dip marinated chicken first in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and coat it again in the flour mixture.
  5. Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels.
  6. Make the hot honey: In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, then mix in honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes until warm.
  7. Assemble the burgers: Place fried chicken on toasted burger buns, drizzle with hot honey mixture, and add spicy mayo and lettuce.

Notes

For best results, let the fried chicken rest briefly after cooking to retain juices. Customize the hot honey sauce to your desired spiciness.
