About

This one replaces the beef patty entirely with crispy, boneless fried chicken wings stacked into a full burger. Crunchy outside, juicy inside, with melted American cheese between layers and a punchy spicy sauce. It eats messy, heavy, and exactly how it should. You end up with a tall burger stacked with three layers of crispy chicken and melted cheese inside. Press it slightly so it holds together, then cut it in half so the layers are visible. Serve immediately while the crust is still crunchy. It scored 8.2 out of 10 here after cooking it exactly as written. The full method runs to 8 steps below. Nothing here needs equipment beyond a pan, a spatula and somewhere to rest the patty.

Recipe

1
Start by marinating the wings. Mix mayo, sriracha, red pepper, white pepper, and black pepper. Coat the wings completely, cover, and leave in the fridge for at least 12 hours. Don’t skip this, it makes the chicken flavorful all the way through.
2
Make the batter. In a bowl mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add cold water and whisk until it becomes a thick batter, like pancake mix. It should stick to the chicken.
3
Heat oil to 180C / 350F. Take the marinated wings and dip them into the batter, coating fully. Lower into the oil and fry for 6–8 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.
4
Transfer the wings to paper towels and let them rest for 2–3 minutes so excess oil drains. While still warm, carefully remove the bones. Go slow so the meat stays intact, otherwise it falls apart.
5
Mix the sauce. Combine mayo, ketchup, mustard, sriracha, paprika, and black pepper until smooth and slightly thick.
6
Toast the brioche buns cut-side down over medium heat for 60–90 seconds until golden. Watch them closely, they go from perfect to burnt fast.
7
Assemble the burger. Bottom bun, generous sauce, layer of chicken, slice of cheese, second layer of chicken, second slice of cheese, final layer of chicken.
8
Add more sauce to the top bun, close it, and gently press so it holds together. Don’t press too hard or everything will slide out.
