Buffalo Chicken Burger Bonanza!
Ingredients:
Chicken Time:
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
Oil for frying
Buffalo Sauce Magic:
1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s Red Hot or your favorite)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tbsp vinegar
Pinch of salt
Burger Build-up:
4 brioche buns, toasted
Blue cheese dressing
Sliced pickles
Chopped lettuce
Sliced onions
How to Whip Up the Fun:
Marinate & Anticipate:
In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the chicken thighs to the mix and let them marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight if you’re prepping ahead).
Buffalo Sauce Boss:
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth, then set aside.
Frying Frenzy:
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). In a separate bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch together. Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk, dredge it in the flour mixture until fully coated, and fry until crispy and golden—about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Assembly Line:
Toss the fried chicken thighs in the buffalo sauce to coat them in that spicy goodness. On the bottom half of your toasted brioche buns, spread a generous amount of blue cheese dressing. Add lettuce, a buffalo chicken thigh, sliced onions, and pickles. Cap it off with the top bun.
