Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken thighs, deboned
- 200 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 100 g cake flour
- 50 g seasoned breadcrumbs
- 30 g Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp spices of choice
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp egg yolk sauce
- 2 slices cheese
- 1 scoop premium ice cream
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
- 1Debone the chicken

Carefully debone the chicken thighs on a metal tray, ensuring the skin remains intact for a better texture when fried.
Tip: Keep the knife sharp and follow the bone structure to remove it cleanly without wasting meat. - 2Prepare the marinade

In a metal container, combine white milk with eggs and your chosen spices, whisking until well incorporated to form the chicken marinade.
Tip: The milk helps tenderize the chicken, while the eggs ensure the flour coating adheres properly. - 3Marinate the chicken

Submerge the deboned chicken pieces into the prepared milk and egg marinade. Allow them to marinate for up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.
Tip: Ensure the chicken is fully covered by the liquid for an even marinade. - 4Prepare the coating

In a shallow tray, combine flour with seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and your preferred spices, mixing them thoroughly.
Tip: For extra crunch, you can also add crushed crispy noodles to the mixture. - 5Coat the chicken

Take the marinated chicken pieces and coat them thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring an even layer without making it too thick.
Tip: Press the coating onto the chicken gently to help it stick to the surface. - 6Fry the chicken

Heat oil to 170 degrees and deep-fry the coated chicken pieces for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Tip: Do not overcrowd the pot to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even frying. - 7Prepare the buns

Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil onto the cut sides of the hamburger bun halves. This adds a rich flavor and ensures a perfect, golden toast when heated in the oven.
Tip: Toast the buns at 180 degrees for 6 minutes after applying the olive oil to achieve the ideal texture. - 8Apply egg yolk sauce

Take your toasted bun and generously spread a layer of creamy egg yolk sauce across the surface. This savory, rich base balances the sweet and crispy elements of the burger.
Tip: Ensure the bun is cooled slightly before spreading the sauce to keep the texture of the dressing intact. - 9Assemble the chicken and cheese

Place the prepared crispy fried chicken thigh onto the sauce-covered bun. Immediately layer a slice of cheese on top of the hot chicken so it begins to soften from the residual heat.
Tip: Make sure the fried chicken is freshly out of the fryer to provide the best contrast with the cool ice cream later. - 10Melt the cheese

Use a kitchen blow-torch to carefully melt the cheese slice until it becomes perfectly gooey and coats the fried chicken. This technique intensifies the savory flavor profile of the chicken.
Tip: Keep the torch moving in circular motions to melt the cheese evenly without burning the crispy coating of the chicken.
