Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by cutting the chicken breast into a size that will fit the bun. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add water until you achieve a thick batter consistency.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Dip the chicken breast into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bun

    In a separate pan, lightly toast the brioche bun until golden.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread Walla Sauce and Yaya Sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the fried chicken breast on top, followed by shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, raw red onion, and sweet pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
