For Assembly:

Instructions:

Marinating the Chicken:

• In a bowl, mix together the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
• Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Preparing the Coating:

• In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
• Mix the coating ingredients well to evenly distribute the spices.

Breading the Chicken:

• Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
• Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
• Shake off any excess flour and set the breaded chicken aside on a plate.

Frying the Chicken:

• In a deep skillet or pot, heat enough vegetable oil for frying over medium-high heat to around 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the hot oil and fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Assembling the Zinger Burger:

• Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a skillet until they are lightly browned.
• Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. You can add hot sauce to the mayo for extra flavor if desired.
• Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayo.
• Put a fried chicken patty on top of the lettuce.
• Add sliced tomatoes and onions on top of the chicken patty.
• If using cheese, place a slice on top of the veggies.
• Spread more mayo on the top half of the bun and place it on top to complete the burger.
