🥩 Ingredients
For the Double Beef Patties:
1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Crispy Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to an even thickness)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Burger Assembly:
2 soft burger buns
2 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Pickles
🍔 Instructions
1. Prepare & Cook the Beef Patties
In a bowl, mix ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Form the beef mixture into two large patties, making them slightly larger than your buns.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side until they reach your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium). Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
2. Make the Crispy Chicken
In a bowl, dip the chicken breasts into buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off.
In a separate shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain the chicken on paper towels and set aside.
3. Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, and layer lettuce and tomato slices.
Place a beef patty on top, followed by a crispy fried chicken breast.
Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the chicken, and top with pickles.
Place the second beef patty on top and close the burger with the top bun.
🍔 Pro Tips:
✔ Extra Flavor? Add bacon strips or jalapeños for an extra kick.
✔ Crispy Chicken Tip? Double-dip the chicken in buttermilk and flour for a crunchier crust.
✔ Customizable? Swap out the cheddar for American cheese or even blue cheese for more flavor variety!
