-
Place the tortilla chips, herbs, spices and salt into a mini blender or food processor and whizz up until you get a nice crumb coating that isn't completely fine, a few little chunks add texture.
-
Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Beat the egg in a bowl then dip each chicken breast in the egg (to create a thinner burger use a meat tenderizer to beat the fillet down a little, I don't bother and stay with a thicken piece of chicken)
-
Once dipped in the egg, drop onto the crumbs, press down and roll to coat. Keeping one hand for the egg and one for the coating makes the process much less messy. Repeat with all the chicken.
-
Place the coated chicken in an air fryer and cook for 20 mins of 180c, flip them over half way so they crisp up evenly. If not using an air fryer, place on a baking tray and bake in an oven pre-heated to gas mark 4/180c and bake for 25-30 mins until cooked through and crispy.

Serve on a gluten free roll of choice with whatever salad and sauces you prefer!

If you miss crispy, spicy chicken burgers since going gluten free, this homemade gluten free KFC-style "Zinger Burger" is definitely one to try! Inspired by the flavours and crunch of a classic spicy fried chicken burger, this easy recipe uses a crispy tortilla chip coating seasoned with smoked paprika, chilli, garlic and herbs to create a deliciously crunchy coating around tender chicken breast.
My gluten free "Zinger Burger" is a great homemade alternative when you're craving that familiar fast-food style chicken burger but need to keep things gluten free for coeliac disease. The chicken is coated before being cooked until golden and crispy, then served in a gluten free burger bun with your favourite toppings. It's packed with flavour, has a lovely spicy kick and makes a seriously satisfying lunch or dinner.
Even better, you don't need to deep fry the chicken. This gluten free chicken burger can be cooked in the air fryer or oven, making it a simple option for a midweek meal. The air fryer is particularly good for getting the coating wonderfully crisp without needing lots of oil, while oven cooking works just as well if you don't have an air fryer. And if you need some tips for keeping your kitchen coeliac safe check out my gluten free kitchen blog.
You can easily adjust the spice level to suit you, too. Add a little extra chilli or cayenne pepper if you like your chicken burgers hot, or reduce the amount for a milder version.
