@andy_cooks Zinger Burgers for the Boys Ingredients Chicken – 4 chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally – salt to taste – 2 tbsp vinegar-based hot sauce – 400g (14 oz) flour – 1 tbsp oregano – 1 tsp mustard powder – 1 tsp onion powder – 1 tsp garlic powder – 1/2 tsp MSG – 1 tsp ground black pepper – 200ml (7 fl oz) milk – oil for frying (peanut oil recommended) Spicy Mayonnaise – 2 egg yolks – 200ml (7 fl oz) peanut oil – 1 tsp salt – 1/2 tsp chilli flakes – 1/2 tsp smoked paprika – 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper – 1/4 tsp MSG – 1/4 tsp onion powder – 1/4 tsp garlic powder To Assemble – 1/4 head iceberg lettuce, finely sliced – 8 slices burger cheese – 4 sesame seed burger buns Method Fried Chicken 1. Add the chicken to a bowl with a big pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of vinegar-based hot sauce. Mix well and leave the chicken to brine in the fridge for 2 hours. 2. After 2 hours, remove the chicken from the fridge. 3. Heat a large pot of peanut oil to 170°C (340°F). 4. While the oil is heating, prepare the seasoned flour mixture by combining the flour, oregano, mustard powder, onion powder, garlic powder, MSG, ground black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix well. 5. In a second bowl, add the milk. 6. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of milk into the flour mixture and mix through to create clumps for extra crunch. 7. Remove the chicken from the fridge and dip each piece into the milk. 8. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing it on to coat well. 9. Fry the chicken in the oil at 170°C (340°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Spicy Mayonnaise 1. Add the egg yolks, oil, salt, chilli flakes, smoked paprika, cayenne, MSG, onion powder, and garlic powder to a tall jug. 2. Place an immersion blender at the bottom of the jug and turn it on slowly, only bringing the blade up as the oil incorporates into the yolks. Do this slowly to avoid splitting the mayonnaise. Assemble 1. Toast the sesame seed burger buns. 2. Spread spicy mayo on both halves of each bun. 3. Add a layer of finely sliced iceberg lettuce. 4. Place two pieces of fried chicken on each bun, topping each piece with a slice of cheese. 5. Close the burger with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

First arriving on our shores in 2011, the Double has since reached god-tier feed status, with every new inception becoming an instant cult-favourite amongst KFC devotees and foodies alike – from the Zinger Mozzarella Double to the Pizza Double and Zinger Tower Double. Last seen on menus nationwide in 2021, fans have patiently laid in wait for their next bite of a KFC Double, and ooooooh baby is this one worth it.
Available across the country for the very first time, the Waffle Double is made with a golden, fluffy waffle, bacon and Smokey Maple Mayo packed between two fillets of the new Original Crispy® chicken, bringing together sweet, savoury and smokey (aka all the best things) into one mouth-watering treat. And if that isn’t enough, we are also hard launching the Original Double, now featuring the new Original Crispy fillets, and bringing back the beloved Zinger Double! The only question is, which one are you getting first?
We won’t waffle on any longer though. Get in next Tuesday the 11th June, for a limited time only!
