- Time to stack the fried chicken fillet burger! Place the bottom bun on a plate followed by mayo, lettuce, chicken and a top bun (to follow a KFC chicken fillet burger style). I personally prefer bottom bun, chicken breast, lettuce, lots of mayo then top bun.4 Burger Buns, To Taste Mayo, Iceberg Lettuce

Notes
If you can’t find onion powder and garlic powder in your local supermarket (I couldn’t), using onion granules and garlic granules are fine to use. The only difference between the two is the size, granules are a similar size to sand whilst powder resembles the texture of flour.
The type of paprika I used was smoked paprika, it adds a rich smoky flavour to the chicken breast.
Oil: The amount of oil required is dependent on the size of the pan or pot used. You might need more or less oil to fry the chicken breasts.
