Ingredients for McChicken® Sandwich

Method

Directions for McChicken® Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the chicken breast fillet first into the egg mixture and then coat it well with the flour mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken fillet. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the burger bun. Place the fried chicken fillet on top, add a leaf of lettuce, and two slices of pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the McChicken® sandwich with your favorite side, such as fries or a salad.
