Here's How to Make Easy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger AND Crispy Sliders

Time to whip up some deliciously crispy and juicy burgers for the family - we got this!
In today’s recipe, I’m going to take you through how to make incredible buttermilk fried chicken burgers with a spicy sauce (mummy and daddy size) AND some sliders with a burger sauce for the kids… or mates that prefer a slider during game time.
Now, if you don’t have time or patience to make the burger buns, I won’t be offended.
Let’s cook!
Ingredients
Dough
- 100ml milk
- 100ml water
- 9g yeast
- 360g bread flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 whole eggs (one for egg wash)
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Chicken marinade
- 6 chicken thighs
- 400ml buttermilk
- 1 tbsp salt + for the dredge
- 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika + + for the dredge
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 1/2 tbsp msg
Chicken dredge
- 260g flour
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp white pepper
- 1/4 tbsp msg
Burger extras
- Iceberg lettuce
- Pickles
Chipotle mayo
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (use one or more chillies)
- 100ml mayonnaise
Burger sauce
- 100ml mayonnaise
- 50ml Ketchup
- 30ml American mustard
- 20ml Pickle juice
Method
Dough
1. Warm your milk and water until it’s lukewarm and then mix in your yeast and set aside.
2. In a stand mixer with the hook attachment, add all other ingredients and turn mixer on to medium and pour in your warm milk mixture.
3. Mix until the dough is smooth and coming away from the bowl, this should take 9-10 minutes.
4. In a bowl greased with olive oil, place the dough and cover it with a tea towel, and set aside to proof until it doubles in size. This will take 1-2 hours depending on how warm your room is.
5. Once it’s doubled in size, remove the dough from the bowl and knead it for 20-30 seconds.
6. Divide it into 120g for burgers or 80g for sliders. I managed to get 4 burgers and 3 sliders from my dough.
7. On a baking sheet, spray with oil, line with paper and spray with more oil, place your rolled buns making sure you spread them out evenly. Cover this with another tray. Leave them until they double in size, this should take 1-2 hours.
8. Whisk together 1 egg and a dash of milk. With a pastry brush lightly brush the buns and place in a 190**°**C oven for 15 minutes.
Chicken marinade
1. Mix the salt, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper and msg together for your seasoning.
2. Take your chicken thighs and butterfly the thick end. Season both sides.
3. Place your chicken in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk. Leave to marinate for a minimum of two hours, overnight is better.
Chipotle mayo
1. Dice up as many chillies from the tin as you would like (I used one) and mix it with the mayo.
*Burger sauce*
1. Add all of the ingredients together and mix.
Fried Chicken
1. For the dredge, mix the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, white pepper and msg together.
2. Spoon in 4 tbsp of buttermilk from the chicken marinade and mix.
3. Coat your marinaded chicken in the flour mix.
4. Fry your chicken in oil at 180**°**C for 10-14 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain it over a wire rack or paper towel.
Assemble your burger
1. Slice you bun in half and butter on both sides. Toast it in a pan over a medium heat.
2. Add your desired sauce to each bun, then add your lettuce, chicken and pickles.
3. All that’s left is for you to eat your homemade fried chicken burger!

Andy is my favorite cook on social media. I prefer the more relaxed style of his videos and I can tell he is a master at his craft. Plus he does a wide range of dishes

[@andy_cooks]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@schofield-I-am]

Too True!!! Great call.

[@schofield-I-am]

@@andy_cooks supporting you from Melbourne. Another great recipe. Thanks Andy. Too bad you’re a kiwi 😂🤣😂

[@josephmull2158]

Ditto

[@allanpower8041]

Just recently discovered this chanel and it is also my favourite.

[@pauld8580]

I love that he does NOT throw everything down in a messy fashion. This man has respect for himself and others and does not pull the “cocky chef crap.” This man knows his stuff and I would love to eat at his restaurant.

[@CJFreeza]

Hey Andy, I'm a old cordon bleu chef that burnt out and your videos make want me to cook again. Thank you for your videos and everything you do for the passion of cooking.

[@VeritasSimRacing]

I left the industry 15 years ago and there's nothing on this planet that could get me to return. Now I actually enjoy cooking and I love seeing videos like Andy's, no bs, just straight food appreciation

[@GreenMach1ne]

The recipes on this channel are so well presented and accessible - no matter your skill level. Love it.

[@pleakhouse]

Finally a chef who doesn’t peddle the nonsense of “make your bread in a stand mixer then knead it by hand.” Why do you think I bought the stand mixer, genius? I love that he tells you he made the buns too big. Openness and honesty are so rare.

[@mr.banhmi7938]

You know it's a solid burger when the buns hold it shape when you eat it. Well done chef 😍

[@DTWMTX]

Thanks for 'teaching' us cooking. Showing us how easy it is. Homemade vs time is always a dilemma when feeding a family.

[@peterjones7108]

I just made this for my very fussy wife (minus the home made rolls) we both loved it best fried chicken we have ever had. Love your content you deserve all the best and should have your own cooking show on tv

[@jimbo4807]

Look at how detailed the description is. This man is genuinely master at his craft but also humbly enough to share the recipe so well. 👏👏

[@vinnieblaydon6701]

I agree, very well presented and makes something you made not think about making like the buns and explaining it very detailed. Really enjoyed this. That crunch was on point

[@rubennunez9397]

I'm so impressed in his humble style of cooking...considering that his a master in his craft. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Thank you!

[@austingreen2882]

You are one of my favorite cooking content creators, keep it up Chef!!

[@caynay]

This is on my to-do-list now! Thanks chef!

[@fabook1]

I love these tutorials along with the shorts. You break it down simply and you're a pro. Nice. Edit: and thanks for putting it all in the description

[@stephkaye6798]

Andy makes awesome dishes actually look accessible and manageable for the average home cook, his style is so friendly and the recipes are delicious. Guilt free banana bread for life ✌️

[@finnb7148]

A tour of your most essential cooking tools would be great, like what knives/pans you use and recommend as well as any other more specialised tools you recommend and can't do without. I'm starting to think about purchasing nice quality stuff for the first time as I'm finally not going to have to share a kitchen, and would appreciate ideas on where to start and what to aspire to get eventually.

[@andy_cooks]

Thanks for the idea!

[@dutchwog]

Thanks so much. You explain it so well and fill me with confidence to give it a go. I can’t wait to try this and have my family really enjoy home made burgers. You’re a legend. Keep up the good work.

[@tikilooote1040]

Just made it myself today, my Gf & I did enjoy it very much. Delicious!!

[@chrome317_8]

I love watching these long videos. Are very calm and I am excited to try this recipe.

[@user-nr4wr1dl2o]

Just found chef Andy after seeing a few shorts. Totally won over with his style of presenting, great do-able recipes, and the fact he gets stuck into the food once it's cooked. Keep it up Andy!

[@knappdave9]

This was the BEST damn chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. I followed your recipe to the letter, and it was fantastic. Huge respect, chef.

[@MysticHerbica]

You make cooking look so easy. So much inspiration in every video.

[@WBS-WingRider-CO]

Love Andy’s recipes. I would love to see you prepare porcupine meatballs and spaghetti. Also, every recipe has onions - I can’t have onions so recipes without them would be wonderful! Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@darranmarshall5524]

You are the man! This is my dream come true an aussie chef showing how to cook food we wanna eat in a typical home kitchen, you explain it so clearly and i like that you use ingredients we can find at the shops thanks man hope this channel blows up

[@Andy_M986]

Kiwi actually,or are you talking about what you plan to do?.

[@alexromero823]

Hi andi Alex from Philadelphia. Have to show you my recipe for my fried chicken. You will love it. Chef.

[@nigelcoleman1503]

Love your videos. Like the mix of short and longer vids. Now I just need to cook!

[@markcoyle5270]

Just prepped my chicken thighs and put to bed overnight, will tackle the rolls tomorrow whilst smashing out other household chores. After quite possibly the best butter chicken (better than some of the Indian restaurants) last week, the natural progression was chicken burgers, next week the massaman. Love the videos, keep up the good work chef

[@tman4915]

Another amazing recipe I need to put on the menu! Please keep these amazing recipes coming. I like to see the way Australians cook. Living in the states I’m will tell you I need to change up my food.

[@dalicloud9]

Spot on with the lettuce. Such an over looked detail but creates a substantially different experience.

[@leeevers8976]

Oh boy, I love buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. I wondered what people do with the left over oil, thanks for addressing that.

[@benfletcher8100]

I love pickles and after looking it up, my local Woolies should have the brand you mentioned so imma give them a go! My brother recently made his own pickles and they were the best pickles I’ve ever had

[@fransiedebeer8244]

@AndyCook you are an amazing chef 💖 love watching your videos they are easy and so delicious 🤗🤗 thanks for the great video lots of love all the way from South Africa

[@jaiengore2908]

I made these tonight and they were delicious! I didn’t have all the spices that you used, but I did use seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes and paprika. Thank you SO much for this video! FYI: I HATE COOKING!!

[@ATHENA471]

Chef Andy I wish I would’ve worked under you or with you when I was starting off my chef career. Would love to work with you. Your videos are the best and the recipes are always amazing. Thanks Chef! 👊🏻💪🏻

[@Tilbo_]

Made my own fried chicken last year and it was so easy and tasty. I really need to do it again. Top effort chef!

[@andy_cooks]

Great job!

[@Andydrewson]

Looks awesome! So did the Mac and cheese in the other vid i just watched. Love your videos, man. From a former chef in the US. Still a chef, just not for a living anymore, lol! After 20 years, I got tired of the restaurant biz & changed careers. Take care & God bless you!

[@ynottravel4198]

Yum! l’ll be giving this burger a go! I’d love to see your spin on a Greek Gyros Andy ! Love seeing everyday food on the menu!

Love it Andy. I'm an American living in Korea & Mom's Touch (Restaurant) makes them this way with the chicken thighs. Way better than Chik-fil-a sandwich (uses chicken breast). I'll have to make this recipe a try.
