Ingredients

1 tbsp Essential White Wine Vinegar
1 Essential Free Range White Egg
1 tbsp Essential Tomato Purée
1 tsp salt
200ml Essential Whole Milk
125g Essential Self Raising White Flour
2 tsp Cooks' Ingredients Hot Smoked Paprika
400g Essential British Chicken Mini Breast Fillets
200ml vegetable oil, for shallow frying
4 Essential Giant White Baps, halved
½ small red onion, sliced, to serve
Handful curly lettuce, to serve
Mayonnaise, to serve (optional)

Method

Whisk the vinegar, egg, tomato purée and 1⁄2 tsp salt together in a large jug, then add the milk, whisking until smooth. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the flour, paprika and remaining salt.
Dip a chicken fillet in the milk mixture, then into the flour, patting away any excess. Repeat this process until thickly coated. Coat all the pieces and set aside on a plate as you go. Discard any remaining flour or milk mix.
Heat 1cm depth of oil in a large frying pan. Carefully place the fillets in the oil and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until dark golden and completely cooked through with no pink meat and the juices run clear.
Drain the chicken on kitchen paper, then serve in the baps with the onion, lettuce and a squeeze of mayonnaise, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Altering the spice in the coating can transform your burger. Smoked paprika gives a deep red colour with a barbecue edge. Use zaatar instead and you’ll be in for a Levantine-style treat, or for simple depth of chicken flavour, try Cooks’ Ingredients Chicken Seasoning.
