Ingredients
  • 2 cups cornflake cereal
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 2 chicken breasts (small to medium size and not too thick)
  • vegetable oil, enough to fill a saucepan 3 inches deep
  • 2 burger buns
  • 2 Tbsps mayo
  • 2 Tbsps sweet chili sauce
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.
Instructions
  1. Put the cornflakes in a food processor and pulse until they are a breadcrumb consistency, or put them in a gallon size plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Put them in a bowl with kosher salt and pepper.

  2. Crack the egg in another bowl and beat with a fork.

  3. Fill a saucepan about 3 inches deep with vegetable oil. Set it on the stove over medium heat until the temperature is 350 degrees, this should take around 5 minutes.

  4. Dip each chicken breast in the egg and into the cornflake crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken. Gently place each chicken breast into the oil for 8 to 12 minutes or until the internal temperature is above 165 degrees.

  5. Remove the chicken from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  6. Mix together the mayo and sweet chili sauce. Put the chicken on the burger buns and add the sweet chili mayo and toppings of choice.
