Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — this burger layers fried chicken, smoked bacon, crisp lettuce, and creamy slaw in one unapologetically satisfying bite.

Pair with Zina’s Black Bean Salad or Portobello Mushroom Salad — earthy, vibrant, and just bold enough to stand up to this burger’s crunch.

Ingredients:

• 2 brioche buns
• 1 chicken breast, breaded and fried
• 2 slices smoked bacon
• 1 cup shredded lettuce or romaine leaves
• ¼ cup coleslaw
• 2 tbsp burger sauce (mayo, ketchup, paprika mix)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Toast the buns – Lightly grill both sides until golden.
2. Cook the bacon – Fry until crisp and set aside.
3. Fry the chicken – Bread and deep-fry until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Assemble – Spread sauce on both buns, layer lettuce, fried chicken, bacon, and a spoonful of coleslaw.
5. Serve – Press gently, slice in half, and serve warm.

Note: Add a spoonful of Black Bean Salad right into the burger if you’re feeling rebellious — it works.
