Gluten Free KFC Zinger Burger Style Chicken Burger

KFC is completely out when it comes to gluten free but you can always make a good alternative yourself. This Zinger style burger is full of spice and the air fryer gives it an extra crispiness. If you don't have an air fryer you can also oven cook the chicken. You can make this recipe as hot as you like by increasing the hotness and amount of chilli powder used. Dress up your gluten free zinger style burger as you like, I added simple lettuce and mayonnaise.

Recipe by Alison Peters

Ingredients

45g salted tortilla chips (I used Asda's own brand)
1.5tbsp smoked paprika
1tbsp mild chilli powder (switch to hot if you like and adjust to however hot you prefer it)
1tbsp garlic granules
1/2tbsp oregano
1tsp thyme
1/3tsp cayenne pepper
1/4tsp black pepper
Pinch Salt
1 egg
3 small chicken fillets
  • Preparation Time: 10 Mins
  • Cooking Time: 20 Mins
  • This recipe makes 3 chicken breasts

Method

1. Place the tortilla chips, herbs, spices and salt into a mini blender or food processor and whizz up until you get a nice crumb coating that isn't completely fine, a few little chunks add texture.

2. Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Beat the egg in a bowl then dip each chicken breast in the egg (to create a thinner burger use a meat tenderizer to beat the fillet down a little, I don't bother and stay with a thicken piece of chicken)

3. Once dipped in the egg, drop onto the crumbs, press down and roll to coat. Try and keep one hand for the egg and one hand for the coating, this makes it less messy. Repeat with all the chicken.

4. Place the coated chicken in an air fryer and cook for 20 mins of 180c, flip them over half way so they crisp up evenly. If not using an air fryer, place on a baking tray and bake in an oven pre-heated to has mark 4/180c and bake for 25-30 mins until cooked through and crispy.

5. Serve on a gluten free roll of choice with whatever salad and sauces you prefer!
