Looking for a burger that’s a real change from the classic beef burger? This Korean-style breaded chicken burger is all about flavor and texture: ultra-crispy chicken, a melty touch from the cheddar, a kick from the kimchi, and plenty of character with just the right amount of indulgence. With its spicy, slightly sweet, umami-rich flavors, it ticks all the boxes for the perfect homemade burger.

Preparation

Cook the breaded chicken fillet for the time indicated on the package. I cooked this one in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 390°F/200°C.
Toast the burger bun for 2 minutes in a toaster (or for 2 minutes in an air fryer at 370°F/190°C).
Prepare the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, gochujang, sesame seeds, and sesame oil.
Spread the sauce over the entire surface of the bottom half of the bun.
Add the cheese on top. Then place the breaded chicken on top.
Add the lettuce leaves (you can also chop the lettuce finely if you like). Scatter the kimchi pieces on top.
Finish by adding the top half of the burger bun, spread with sauce... and it's ready!

FAQ ❓

Can you use something other than a breaded chicken fillet?

Of course! You can use any breaded option you like; breaded fish or a plant-based version would work perfectly, too. I used a cheese-filled breaded chicken fillet here.
