Buffalo chicken burgers, serve simple with pickles, blue cheese ranch and lots of lettuce. Yes please!
Method
Whisk the buttermilk, sea salt and egg together and add the chicken thigh. Leave for at least an hour.
Whisk the flours, spices and baking powder. Take a spoonful of the buttermilk marinade and sprinkle it into the flour to create little bobbly bits.
Preheat the oil to 180°C. Remove the thigh from the remaining buttermilk and place it in the bowl with the spicy flours. Press it gently but with authority into the flour, then flip it to cover it all. If it has any gaps, spoon a little buttermilk on and seal with flour.
In a blender very briefly whizz the franks and hot sauce to create a thick luscious buffalo.
Fry the chicken for around 8 minutes, flipping half way, or until it's completely cooked through. Drench with the sauce.
Serve with the toasted buns, pickles, lettuce and blue cheese ranch.
