Cooking Instructions
Cooking: 8 minutes
Notes:
Create a robust seasoned flour blend using plain flour, black pepper, smoked sweet paprika, mustard powder, white pepper, celery powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, MSG, dried thyme, oregano, basil, salt, and optional cayenne pepper.
Prepare a wet batter by whisking eggs, soda water, Cajun seasoning, salt, and plain flour until smooth and pourable.
Craft a tangy supercharger sauce by emulsifying egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice with infused oil, then blending in tomato paste, chipotle paste, adobo sauce, garlic paste, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, sugar, pickle juice, and original seasoning powder.
Coat the brined chicken by dredging in plain flour, dipping into the wet batter, and tossing thoroughly in the seasoned flour before frying.
Deep fry the coated chicken fillets in neutral oil heated to 160°C for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown, crispy, and cooked to an internal temperature of 75°C.
Brine Chicken
Place chicken fillets in a bowl with hot sauce, water, and salt, cover, and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight.
Mix Seasoned Flour
Combine plain flour, black pepper, smoked paprika, mustard powder, white pepper, celery powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, MSG, thyme, oregano, basil, and salt in a large bowl.
Make Wet Batter
Whisk together eggs, soda water, Cajun seasoning, salt, plain flour, and a touch of water until a smooth batter forms.
Make Supercharger Sauce
Whisk egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, slowly stream in oil to form mayonnaise, then blend in tomato paste, chipotle paste, adobo sauce, garlic paste, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, sugar, pickle juice, and seasoning powder.
Coat Chicken
Dredge the brined chicken in plain flour, dip into the wet batter, and coat generously in the seasoned flour mixture.
Fry Chicken
Heat neutral oil to 160°C and fry the breaded chicken fillets for 7 to 8 minutes until golden and fully cooked.
Assemble and Serve
Toast burger buns, spread with supercharger sauce, layer with lettuce, pickles, the crispy Zinger chicken fillet, and melted cheese, crown with the top bun, and serve.
