BUTTERFLIED BEFORE BUTTERMILK FRIED
Pat your chicken breast dry with some paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thin point (be careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.) Open out the breast so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin or bottle to create an even thickness.
LET’S FRY!
Prepare a shallow dish containing the flour, seasoned lightly. Prepare a second dish containing the buttermilk. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 4-5cm of oil. Lightly season the butterflied chicken breast. When the oil is hot, carefully dip the fillet in the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then lightly coat in the flour, and then carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, turning halfway. Drain on some paper towel and season to taste.
TOAST THE BUNS
Place a pan, with a lid, over a medium-high heat. When hot, place the halved burger bun, cut-side up, in the pan. Top one of the bun halves with the cheese slices and cover the pan with the lid. Toast for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
THE BOSS OF ALL BURGERS!
Top the cheesy bun with the buttermilk fried chicken, the tomato slices, and the green leaves. Dollop over the remaining mayo and top with the other bun half. Side with the creamy slaw. Dig in, Chef!
