Breader
100gAll-purpose flour

Meat
4pieces Chicken Thigh skin off boneless
To assemble the burger
1Tomato Sliced
1Gherkin Sliced
4slices Cheese
HandfulLettuce ( finely shredded)or mixed Salad
4Brioche buns Store-bought or homemade ( check my homemade brioche recipe)
Instructions
Buttermilk
Place milk and lemon juice in a bowl, mix well and leave aside for 10 minutes until it curdles slightly (This is the process of making buttermilk)
Once the buttermilk is ready, add the egg, salt and mix well ( This mix will resemble a thick batter)
Place the chicken thigh on a cling wrap and flatten it using a meat flattener or in my case a rolling pin :)
Place the flattened chicken in the buttermilk mixture and soak. Leave for 2 hours in the fridge
Secret seasoning
Combine all ingredients together and mix well
Place the flour, cornflour and the secret seasoning ( all of it ) in a bowl and mix well with a spoon to combine well
Preparing the chicken
Take the chicken out and directly plunge it into the crumb (breader) mixture that was prepared ( it is alright if the buttermilk mixture falls onto the crumb mixture as this will give that crumbly effect for the chicken)
Heat a large pot of oil on medium fire, once the oil is hot fry the chicken for 3 -4 minutes until fully cooked
Drain it on a wire rack
To assemble the burger
First, cut the brioche buns in half and toast the brioche buns on a pan ( heat a pan on medium heat and add the buns on the pan to lightly toast. Place a slice of cheese on top of the crispy chicken, slightly reheat in the in the microwave so that the cheese melts, ( 30 seconds max)Then add mayonnaise on both pieces, place tomato, gherkins, crispy chicken topped with melted cheese, Finally, top up with salad and the top part of the brioche bun and Enjoy
