Tips & variations
  • Marinate chicken in buttermilk (or yogurt + milk) with spices for at least 2–4 hours, preferably overnight, for juicy and flavorful meat.
  • Lightly toast the burger buns with butter for better texture and flavor.
  • Fry at medium-high heat (around 170–175°C / 340–350°F). Too hot = outside burns.
