Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets trimmed to fit the buns
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken
  • 2 eggs binds the breading to the chicken
  • Vegetable oil for frying
For Assembly:
  • 4 hamburger buns toasted
  • 8 lettuce leaves freshness and crunch
  • 4 tomato slices juicy and flavorful
  • 4 tablespoons homemade BK Royal Sauce creamy and tangy
For the Sauce:
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise base for the sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard adds depth
  • 1 teaspoon dill relish or finely chopped pickles for crunch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for umami flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Frying pan or deep fryer
  • Meat thermometer
  • Slotted spoon or tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and eggs. Whisk together until well mixed. Add chicken cutlets, ensuring they are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a frying pan or deep fryer, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by about 1 inch. Heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each cutlet in seasoned flour, pressing lightly for an even coating.
  5. Carefully place breaded chicken cutlets in hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  6. While chicken is frying, toast hamburger buns until golden brown.
  7. Spread 1 tablespoon of BK Royal Sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with 2 lettuce leaves and 1 tomato slice. Place crispy chicken on top, add another tablespoon of sauce, and crown with the top half of the bun.

Notes

  • Don't skip the marinating step for juicy chicken.
  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying for a perfect crisp.
  • Let fried chicken drain on paper towels, not directly on the buns.
