Here's How to Make Easy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger AND Crispy Sliders

Time to whip up some deliciously crispy and juicy burgers for the family - we got this!

In today’s recipe, I’m going to take you through how to make incredible buttermilk fried chicken burgers with a spicy sauce (mummy and daddy size) AND some sliders with a burger sauce for the kids… or mates that prefer a slider during game time.

Now, if you don’t have time or patience to make the burger buns, I won’t be offended.

Let’s cook!

Ingredients

Dough

- 100ml milk
- 100ml water
- 9g yeast
- 360g bread flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 whole eggs (one for egg wash)
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Chicken marinade

- 6 chicken thighs
- 400ml buttermilk
- 1 tbsp salt + for the dredge
- 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika + + for the dredge
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 1/2 tbsp msg

Chicken dredge

- 260g flour
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 1/4 tbsp msg

Burger extras

- Iceberg lettuce
- Pickles

Chipotle mayo

- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (use one or more chillies)
- 100ml mayonnaise

Burger sauce

- 100ml mayonnaise
- 50ml Ketchup
- 30ml American mustard
- 20ml Pickle juice

Method

Dough

1. Warm your milk and water until it’s lukewarm and then mix in your yeast and set aside.
2. In a stand mixer with the hook attachment, add all other ingredients and turn mixer on to medium and pour in your warm milk mixture.
3. Mix until the dough is smooth and coming away from the bowl, this should take 9-10 minutes.
4. In a bowl greased with olive oil, place the dough and cover it with a tea towel, and set aside to proof until it doubles in size. This will take 1-2 hours depending on how warm your room is.
5. Once it’s doubled in size, remove the dough from the bowl and knead it for 20-30 seconds.
6. Divide it into 120g for burgers or 80g for sliders. I managed to get 4 burgers and 3 sliders from my dough.
7. On a baking sheet, spray with oil, line with paper and spray with more oil, place your rolled buns making sure you spread them out evenly. Cover this with another tray. Leave them until they double in size, this should take 1-2 hours.
8. Whisk together 1 egg and a dash of milk. With a pastry brush lightly brush the buns and place in a 190**°**C oven for 15 minutes.

Chicken marinade

1. Mix the salt, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper and msg together for your seasoning.
2. Take your chicken thighs and butterfly the thick end. Season both sides.
3. Place your chicken in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Leave to marinate for a minimum of two hours, overnight is better.

Chipotle mayo

1. Dice up as many chillies from the tin as you would like (I used one) and mix it with the mayo.

**Burger sauce**

1. Add all of the ingredients together and mix.

Fried Chicken

1. For the dredge, mix the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper and msg together.
2. Spoon in 4 tbsp of buttermilk from the chicken marinade and mix.
3. Coat your marinaded chicken in the flour mix.
4. Fry your chicken in oil at 180**°**C for 10-14 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain it over a wire rack or paper towel.

Assemble your burger

1. Slice you bun in half and butter on both sides. Toast it in a pan over a medium heat.
2. Add your desired sauce to each bun, then add your lettuce, chicken and pickles.
3. All that’s left is for you to eat your homemade fried chicken burger!

Andy is my favorite cook on social media. I prefer the more relaxed style of his videos and I can tell he is a master at his craft. Plus he does a wide range of dishes

[CJFreeza]

Hey Andy, I'm a old cordon bleu chef that burnt out and your videos make want me to cook again. Thank you for your videos and everything you do for the passion of cooking.

[pauld]

I love that he does NOT throw everything down in a messy fashion. This man has respect for himself and others and does not pull the “cocky chef crap.” This man knows his stuff and I would love to eat at his restaurant.

[GreenMachne]

The recipes on this channel are so well presented and accessible - no matter your skill level. Love it.

[DTWMTX]

Thanks for 'teaching' us cooking. Showing us how easy it is. Homemade vs time is always a dilemma when feeding a family.

[jimbo]

Look at how detailed the description is. This man is genuinely master at his craft but also humbly enough to share the recipe so well. 👏👏

[peterjones]

I just made this for my very fussy wife (minus the home made rolls) we both loved it best fried chicken we have ever had. Love your content you deserve all the best and should have your own cooking show on tv

[pleakhouse]

Finally a chef who doesn’t peddle the nonsense of “make your bread in a stand mixer then knead it by hand.”

Why do you think I bought the stand mixer, genius?

I love that he tells you he made the buns too big. Openness and honesty are so rare.

[rubennunez]

I'm so impressed in his humble style of cooking...considering that his a master in his craft. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Thank you!

[finnb]

A tour of your most essential cooking tools would be great, like what knives/pans you use and recommend as well as any other more specialised tools you recommend and can't do without. I'm starting to think about purchasing nice quality stuff for the first time as I'm finally not going to have to share a kitchen, and would appreciate ideas on where to start and what to aspire to get eventually.

[mr.banhmi]

You know it's a solid burger when the buns hold it shape when you eat it. Well done chef 😍

[kandiblick]

[darranmarshall]

I agree, very well presented and makes something you made not think about making like the buns and explaining it very detailed. Really enjoyed this. That crunch was on point

[fabook]

I love these tutorials along with the shorts. You break it down simply and you're a pro. Nice.

Edit: and thanks for putting it all in the description

[nrwrdlo]

Just found chef Andy after seeing a few shorts. Totally won over with his style of presenting, great do-able recipes, and the fact he gets stuck into the food once it's cooked. Keep it up Andy!

[tikilooote]
