When the mood for fried chicken strikes, this crispy chicken burger recipe will be here, patiently waiting in all its glory.
Imagine chicken breast marinated in a soy, ginger and garlic sauce, which is battered and pan-fried to crispy perfection, and paired with sesame mayo and crunchy coleslaw in a soft seeded bun.
But before you get started here are some top tips for making the perfect chicken burger from Ribs & Burgers head chef, Gareth Naar.
"Most importantly is to use fresh, quality produce. You'll notice a world of difference," Naar told The Huffington Post Australia.
"To get the most flavour, we recommend marinating the chicken for 2-4 hours. Although if you are pressed for time, a minimum of 30 minutes will suffice.
"If using a larger chicken breast, the breast can be cut across the thicker section into two smaller portions."
