Chicken burger made with crispy cornflake-coated chicken is a homemade alternative to fast food.
The chicken is seasoned, coated, and fried until crunchy on the outside and juicy inside.
The burger is kept simple with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, with optional additions based on preference.
This recipe works well for lunch, dinner, or casual gatherings. If you have a few extra minutes, the chicken burger tastes best with homemade buns.

Preparation

7 steps · tap a step to mark it done

  1. Cut chicken breast fillets into portions sized to fit the burger buns. Place chicken in a bowl and add pressed garlic, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so all pieces are evenly coated.

  2. Prepare three bowls. Place flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl beat the eggs with milk and breadcrumbs. In the third bowl place coarsely crushed cornflakes.

  3. Coat each piece of chicken first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornflakes. Press the coating gently so it adheres well.

  4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden and crispy on both sides and fully cooked inside. Remove from the pan and place briefly on paper towels.

  5. Slice the burger buns if needed. You can lightly toast the buns in a pan with a small amount of oil. This will help prevent them from soaking up mayo or other sauce too quickly.

  6. Wash and prepare lettuce and slice tomato.

  7. Place lettuce on the bottom bun, add crispy chicken, sliced tomato, and mayonnaise. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately. ENJOY!

Cook’s note

Cornflakes should be crushed coarsely, not finely, to keep the coating crunchy.
Moderate heat helps the chicken cook through without burning the coating.
Only lettuce and tomato are used here, but other vegetables can be added according to preference.
Only mayonnaise is used, but other sauces can be added according to preference.
Burger taste best with homemade buns.
