One of my oldest burgers. It was inspired by the classic combination between Chicken McNuggets and the curry sauce, but I was not able to reproduce that sauce, so I went for a lazier sauce that worked like a charm.

I think the simplest curry powder works the best in this recipe.

Ingredients for 1 burger:

• 1 burger bun
• 150-200g of chicken mince
• ½ onion
• 2-3 tomato slices
• 1 handful of shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1 slice of cheddar (or your favorite cheese)
• 3 tbsp of mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp of curry powder
• A dash of pickle juice
• 2 tbsp of wheat flour
• ½ tsp of salt
• ½ tsp of black pepper
• ½ tsp of paprika
• ½ tsp of garlic powder
• 1 egg
• Breadcrumbs (Panko or standard breading)

Directions:

1. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, whisk the egg. In a third bowl or plate, add the breadcrumbs.
2. Wet your hands and form a patty with the mince. Dredge in the flour mix and tap off the excess, dip into the egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs. Let it rest on a bed of extra breadcrumbs so the coating sets.
3. Slice the onion thinly and mix it with 1 tbsp of mayonnaise.
4. Mix the remaining mayonnaise with the curry powder and the pickle juice.
5. Toast the inner sides of the burger bun in a dry pan or toaster.
6. Heat oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Fry the chicken patty until the bottom is golden-brown. Flip, place the cheese slice on top, and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese while the bottom side cooks through. Once golden-brown and cooked through, drain briefly on paper towels.
7. Build the burger (bottom to top):
   1. Bottom bun
   2. Half of the curry mayonnaise
   3. Crispy chicken patty with melted cheese
   4. Remaining curry mayonnaise
   5. Lettuce
   6. Tomato
   7. Onion in mayonnaise
   8. Top bun

Enjoy 😉
