Ever heard of love at first sight? Well ask me and I’ll tell you that I fall in love at first sight everyday :p with food off course (don’t judge me!). So when I was a kid and I tried out Zinger for the first time, it was like love at first sight. Although the quality of all food chains offering Zinger or related burgers has dropped significantly these days that’s why I had to try zinger recipe at home and make up for that loss of quality with an even superior one of my own with tips from my mom!

I recently got committed and when my in-laws had to come over for the formalities, I made loads of these for them =)

If you have all the ingredients, its pretty simple to make. So lets get started!

Zinger Recipe:

Ingredients

• Boneless chicken breast  – Half per burger
• Black pepper 1 tsp
• Salt 1tsp
• Red chilli ¼ tsp
• Ajinomoto 1.5 tsp
• Worcestershire sauce 2tbsp (if available) else Soya sauce ½ tsp
• Oil for frying
• Flour 2 tsp
• Baking powder ¼ tsp
• Cornflour 2 tbsp
• Egg 1
• Rice flour 2 tbsp
• Corn flakes 1 cup
• Breadcrumbs 1 cup
• Halved Buns (One per burger)
• Lettuce leaves (One per burger)
• Mayonnaise (As rquired)
• Cheese slice (One per burger)

Zinger – Instructions

Mix all of the spices and Worcestershire sauce and keep them in a bowl. Take another bowl and mix salt, black pepper, flour, baking powder, corn flour, egg and rice flour.  Take a third bowl and mix bread crumbs and corn flakes in it. Now roll the boneless chicken breast in the bowl of spices and ensure its heavy coating. Then dip it in the paste prepared in the second bowl. Remember that we added salt in the second bowl to make sure that the coating it not left pallid (pheeka). Once done roll it into the third bowl and ensure whole coating of bread crumbs and corn flakes. Again dip in in the second bowl of paste and then again roll it in the third bowl. Repeat this step for the third time if you want more thick overall coating. Deep fry the now coated chicken until golden brown. Its color would automatically make you realize that its ready to eat.

Apply mayonnaise on both sides of the bun and place lettuce leaf on one side. Place the fried chicken over it, apply mayonnaise over it and top it with a cheese slice. Cover it up with rest half of the bun. Press a little from above so that the bun holds the ingredients intact. Since the traditional Zinger only has a fried chicken that’s why I kept it simple. If you want you can add onions, tomatoes and jalapenos as ingredients of the burger. Enjoy!!
