Gluten Free KFC Style Zinger Chicken Burger | Fakeaway

Ingredients

45g salted tortilla chips (I used Asda's own brand)
1.5tbsp smoked paprika
1tbsp mild chilli powder (switch to hot if you like and adjust to however hot you prefer it)
1tbsp garlic granules
1/2tbsp oregano
1tsp thyme
1/3tsp cayenne pepper
1/4tsp black pepper
Pinch Salt
1 egg
3 small chicken fillets

Preparation Time: 10 Mins
Cooking Time: 20 Mins

This recipe contains

Egg

Method

1. 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.

2. 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)

3. 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.

4. 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.

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