Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a food processor, combine the chicken breast, chicken thighs, garlic powder, white pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and forms a uniform paste. (5 minutes)
02
StepDivide the chicken mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about ½-inch thick. Arrange the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze for 20-30 minutes to help them maintain their shape during frying. (25 minutes)
03
StepHeat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). While the oil is heating, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, remaining ½ teaspoon paprika, and black pepper in a medium bowl. (5 minutes)
04
StepLightly coat the partially frozen chicken patties in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Set the coated patties aside. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, add the club soda to the remaining flour mixture. Whisk until just combined; the batter should be thin but able to coat the patties. (2 minutes)
06
StepWorking in batches of 2-3, dip each patty into the club soda batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully lower the battered patties into the hot oil. Fry, maintaining a temperature between 330-350°F (165-175°C), until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per batch. (20 minutes)
07
StepRemove the fried patties from the oil and place them on a wire rack set inside a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining patties. (5 minutes)
08
StepTo assemble, spread mayonnaise on the top and bottom buns. Add shredded lettuce and a crispy chicken patty to each bun. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
