My recipe:

🛒 Ingredients:

For the Chicken Patties:

2 boneless chicken breasts (sliced in half horizontally or pounded thin)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt & pepper to taste

1 egg

1/4 cup water

Oil for frying

For the Sandwich:

4 hamburger buns

Shredded iceberg lettuce

Mayo (or your favorite copycat McChicken sauce!)

🍳 Instructions:

-Prep the Chicken

Slice or pound your chicken into thin cutlets. Season with salt and pepper.

-Make the Batter

In one bowl, whisk the egg and water together.

In another bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

-Coat & Fry

Dip the chicken into the egg wash, then dredge in the flour mixture. Press to coat well!

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 3–4 min per side). Drain on a paper towel.

Assemble the Sandwich

-Lightly toast your buns.

Spread mayo on the top bun, add a generous amount of shredded lettuce, and place your crispy chicken patty on the bottom bun. Sandwich it together and enjoy!
