Step 1

In a food processor, combine the boneless, skinless chicken thighs with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, chicken bouillon, and paprika. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined and sticks together. Be careful not to over-process the chicken.

Step 2

Divide the chicken mixture into equal parts and shape them into thin patties. You can use a patty presser for uniform patties. Adjust the thickness of the patties according to your preference, but keep in mind that frying time will vary. Place the shaped patties on a tray lined with parchment paper and chill them in the freezer for about an hour to firm up.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat until it reaches around 170 degrees Celsius, suitable for frying.

Step 4

Set up a breading station with plain flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another bowl, and toasted panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 5

Coat each chilled patty in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the coated patty in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Then coat the patty well in the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Fry the coated patties in the hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, you can air fry or bake the patties in the oven for a healthier option. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a wire rack to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Mix some mayonnaise with mustard powder or English mustard to create a flavorful sauce for the burger.

Step 8

Butter and toast the burger buns for added flavor and texture.

Step 9

Shred the iceberg lettuce for the burger topping.

Step 10

To assemble the burgers, place a cooked chicken patty on the bottom bun, top it with shredded lettuce, and drizzle with the mayo-mustard sauce. Close the burger with the top bun.

Step 11

Serve the McChicken Copycat Burgers hot and fresh, and savor the delicious combination of crispy chicken, creamy sauce, and fresh lettuce. Enjoy your homemade version of this classic fast food favorite!
