Creating the Dish
In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, salt, chilli powder, garlic powder and paprika. Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place the chicken in the marinade for a minimum of four hours.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dry thyme and baking powder. Whisk in the buttermilk thoroughly until the batter is rough and clumpy.
Remove the chicken breast from the marinade and toss in the batter mixture. Press the chicken firmly into the breading so clumps adhere to the meat.
Deep fry at 170 degrees until 75 degrees Celsius at core temperature and golden brown.
Get creative when dressing your buttermilk chicken burger, I’ve dressed mine with cheddar cheese sauce, smoky baconnaise, red cabbage slaw and pickled jalapenos. Delicious!
