The crispiest chicken burger
gluten free and dairy free
Are you on the hunt for the ultimate crispy chicken burger but need to avoid gluten? Look no further! Our new homemade crispy chicken burger is the perfect solution for your cravings. With a unique and flavorful coating, this burger is not only gluten-free but also irresistibly delicious.
The Secret to the Perfect Crunch
What sets our crispy chicken burger apart is its innovative panade. Traditional breading methods often rely on breadcrumbs or flour, which contain gluten. Instead, our recipe uses a combination of egg, cornstarch, and gluten-free cornflakes. This trio ensures that each bite is delightfully crispy, without compromising on texture or taste.
Egg acts as the binding agent, helping the cornstarch and cornflakes adhere perfectly to the chicken. Cornstarch provides a light, airy crispness that you often find in the best fried foods. Finally, gluten-free cornflakes add that extra crunch, making every mouthful a satisfying experience.
No crispy chicken burger is complete without the perfect sides, and our recipe is no exception. To complement our delectable burger, we recommend pairing it with oven fries.
Perfectly Crispy Oven Fries
Oven fries are a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried French fries, yet they don't compromise on taste or crunch. By baking the potatoes, you achieve that crispy exterior and fluffy interior everyone loves, but with significantly less oil. Seasoned with a blend of your favorite spices, these fries are the ideal side dish. They add just the right amount of crunch to complement the tender, juicy chicken in your burger.
The Secret: Homemade Coleslaw
The true secret to our crispy chicken burger lies in the homemade coleslaw. This tangy, creamy side adds a refreshing crunch that perfectly balances the savory, crispy chicken. Made from fresh red and white cabbage and a zesty, creamy dressing, our coleslaw is the ultimate topping for your burger.
Homemade coleslaw brings a vibrant, crunchy texture that complements the tender chicken and crispy coating. The mix of mayonnaise, vinegar, and a touch of sweetness from sugar or argave syrup creates a harmonious blend of flavors. Adding this coleslaw to your burger not only enhances its taste but also provides a satisfying crunch in every bite.
