These Crispy Chicken Burgers have seasoned juicy chicken sandwiched between buttery brioche buns topped with your favorite toppings! This is a simple recipe for a delicious homemade chicken sandwich.
Combine the milk, vinegar, salt, and cumin in a zipper baggie or medium bowl.
Flatten the chicken with a meat mallet and cut to make four 4 equal pieces.
Add the chicken fillets to the milk mixture, cover, and chill for 1 hour.
In a coating tray, add the flour, baking powder, and taco seasoning.
Beat the egg in another coating tray, then whisk in 1/8 cup of the milk mixture from the chicken soaking baggie or bowl. Discard the rest of the milk mixture and set the chicken on a plate.
Fill a 12-inch electric skillet with at least 1 1/2 inches of oil and preheat to 350 degrees F.
Coat each piece of chicken with the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then put it back in
the flour and coat it very well.
Set the breaded chicken on a plate or sheet pan to rest for 5 minutes.
Fry the chicken in the hot oil for 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown and 165 degrees F in the center. Carefully flip over half way through.
Drain the fried crispy chicken on a wire rack over a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve on soft brioche buns with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Pounding the chicken flat helps tenderize it and allows the chicken to cook more evenly.
