Homemade Zinger Burger Recipe ( alike KFC)

Zinger burger is one of my favorite burger at Kentucky Fried Chicken ( KFC)

 

It is one of the most popular local burger in Asia, consumers of all ages love to buy Zinger Burger for a quick meal especially during rush lunch hour or snack time.

 

Zinger is a little spicy and much crispier than regular Colonel Burger with chicken pattie.

 

Chicken pattie is grind into minced meat, shaped into a round shape, coat with flour and grilled.

 

However, Zinger chicken is made from lean chicken meat, coat heavily with thick batter which is spicy and a bit salty.

 

Then, zinger chicken is deep fried until brownish crispy.

 

However, homemade Zinger Burger would taste much better and less salty than KFC

 

Hence, I decided to try making my own homemade zinger chicken with fresh lean chicken from chicken keel because it is fleshier and I could slice it into half to make 2 pieces of Zinger Chicken.

 

How to prepare Zinger Burger

# burger

I bought a bag of burger buns. You can choose wheat buns or plain round brown buns.

Cut each bun into halves vertically.

Spread some butter and toast in the microwave oven or sandwich maker for a few minutes.

 

#fresh lean chicken

Buy fresh chicken from the wet market or hypermarket.

 

I prefer to choose chicken keel compare to chicken fillets because the chicken keel flesh is thicker and makes a wonderful one large piece of Zinger chicken for a homemade burger.

 

Chicken fillets are smaller pieces of lean meat, so you may need to fry 4 pieces for a person.

 

#Zinger batter

You will need lots of plain flour, beaten egg, salt and pepper, chilli powder and KFC flour.

 

Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl. Pour in water gradually as you stir the batter.

 

Make sure the batter is not too watery or to sticky and thick, hard to stir.

 

The batter should turn out alike congee that drops off from the spoon easily.

 

# Coleslaw

Yes, you will need some homemade coleslaw with simple steps.

Cut the salad lettuce or iceberg lettuce into strips. Same goes with the carrots.

Mix both vegetables together in a bowl.

Drizzle a little white vinegar into it.

Then mix together with generoud amount of mayonnaise or thousand salad dressing or coleslaw dressing or yellow mustard, whichever you prefer.

Alternatively, you could place a piece of lettuce, trim it into a circular shape, instead of cutting it.

 

Don’t forget the dressing!

 

#optional

How about adding slices of cucumbers or tomatoes?

You can also add in slices of Zuchinni if you desire a sweeter taste of greens.

If you prefer, you could add in caramalized or fried onion rings into your Zinger Burger
