Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Burger

"Me 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Hot Honey - locked in for life."

Lately, I’ve developed a full-blown obsession with Hot Honey, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It all started after I made my Nashville Hot Honey Mozzarella Sticks (click here for the recipe), and since then I’ve been dreaming up new ways to use that sweet-heat combo. These Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Burgers were the natural next step, delivering crispy chicken, sticky glaze and serious flavour in every bite.

One element that really brings balance to these burgers is the dressing. Any light, creamy dressing works well, but I genuinely think Homemade Ranch Dressing is the perfect match here. I’ve shared this recipe before (click here for the recipe), and it adds that cool, herby contrast that ties all the flavours together beautifully without overpowering the burger.

Now, let’s talk Slaw, because texture matters. You can use a ready-made slaw mix if you’re short on time, but I kept it simple by using what I had in the fridge, by finely shredding lettuce, cabbage and carrots. Tossed with a quick slaw dressing (healthy recipe coming soon), it added the perfect crisp bite to the burgers.

I’ll be honest, I was really unwell when I made these, and I genuinely think I may have had a new strain of Covid at the time. Even so, I still needed to shoot this half prepped recipe, which was a challenge. Cooking, plating and shooting through it was one thing, but editing the content afterwards was quite an interesting, seeing how unwell me did what she had to do.

Now, because I was feeling so rough the day I actually made this, I was knocked out right after cleaning up, I didn't even taste it. My mum ended up freezing the remaining unfried chicken and sauce, while storing the homemade ranch dressing and slaw in airtight containers in the fridge. Some days later, we got to enjoy these burgers and they were delicious. It really highlighted how well this recipe can be prepped in advance.

Cheeseburger Crunchwrap

"So...we meat again"

I cannot begin to tell you how delicious this turned out! It's one of those meals that's so light yet filling at the same time. This will become one of those easy-to-whip up recipes, perfect for days when you have no time, you don't want to be in the kitchen too long, or you don't know what to make.

A couple of ago the Crunchwrap Supreme went viral, and I've shared my version of it here before. If you'd like to check out my recipe, click here, and for the TikTok video, click here.

I'm using my favourite patties - spinach and feta beef patties. If you follow me on social media, you've seen me make these so many times. These are not homemade, but I do have a smash burger recipe coming out soon, so stay tuned for that. However, this is just my absolute favourite, which I always have in the freezer, and I wanted to use it for this recipe.

There's not really any major "cooking" involved, besides grilling up the patties and toasting your crunch wrap in the end, and/or if you want the extra step of making caramelised onions (which I did).

That is why I said this entire recipe is super quick; it's just about prepping and getting everything ready to throw together, which you can do as you're grilling the patties and making the caramelised onions.

If you're not familiar with how I share my recipes, I share the exact same method twice. One with step-by-step pictures, which make it easy to refer to as you make the dish, and the second right afterwards, which is exactly the same method, just without pictures.

Finally, check out the short FAQ down below, I tried to answer some common questions one may have about making this.

eat it!"

Let me tell you, this is one delicious and easy burger recipe. It will be a lifesaver, on days when you have no idea what to make.

I played around in the kitchen one morning and made this for my dad and me for lunch. I won't bore you with a whole life story about the Buffalo Chicken Burgers because the taste speaks for itself, and it is dad-approved lol.

Check out the extra suggestions down below, I share a few different ways you can use the chicken filling in other quick meals, as well as different drizzle sauce options.

If you're new to my site, something to note is that I share 2 methods.

The first has step-by-step pictures, which make it easy to follow along while cooking.

The second method which is shared right after, is exactly the same, just minus the pictures.

Lays Chips Chicken

This was such an odd combination using packet chips when making chicken,

but to be honest it came out amazing.

I would say this dish is a twist on the Fried Chicken,

gives a different crunch especially if you're tired of good old breadcrumbs,

and no deep frying.

You can use any flavour packet chips you want.

Also the brand doesn't have to be lays it can be simba,

or really whatever you prefer using.

The flavour as well is up to you,

because we made this for the first time we played it safe,

and used Lays Lightly Salted (yellow packet),

but next time we want to try another flavour.

Another quick note, got this lovely recipe from

Umme Amatullah - Treasury Foods Group on Facebook

*Please note when using spices be very careful,

all spices have salt already in them,

so over using them to making a huge marinade can make it very salty,

keep tasting along the way to be on the safe side,

and add the salt last if it does need any*

INGREDIENTS

1/2 kg Chicken Fillet

1/2 cup Lemon Juice

2 Tb Mayonnaise

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Ground Cumin

Ground Green Chillies (to taste depending on how strong you want it).

2 Tsp Aromat

1 tsp Lemon Pepper

1/2 tsp Fresh Black Ground Pepper

1 Large Egg, beaten

2 (or 3 ) small packets Lays/Simba chips, crushed *any flavour*

Oil - for frying

METHOD

Slit the sides of the fillets in half to form 2 thin fillets out of 1.
Mix the following ingredients together: lemon juice, mayo, cumin, garlic, aromat, green chillies, lemon pepper and black pepper.
Add the marinade to the fillets and mix well.
Place in the fridge and leave to marinate for a couple of hours, we left it to marinate overnight.

Next, dip the fillets into the egg,
Then, completely coat them in the crushed chips.
Shallow fry using any oil you prefer (olive oil) in a non stick pan, and turn once only when golden brown on both sides.

Serve with salad, or you can place in a burger, add some sauce and lettuce and you have a crunchy burger.

I hope you liked this recipe, and if you did please feel free to comment and share as well.

I reply to all comments so if you have a question please don't feel shy.

Grilled Machacho Chicken Burger

So this is a great weekend dish, get the whole family involved in the making, it will be fun. My dad was on the plating duty lol. So this is quite an easy dish to make from the marination till the serve up. A healthy alternative than going out and getting take-out, same burger but packed with more good flavour.

Please note to all my international subscribers, the machacho spices and sauces are mostly found in Southern Africa, and I'm not sure if it can be found anywhere else. I do apologize, I will suggest if you want you can still try this recipe but substitute the spices with what is available in your area (if I am wrong and these spices can be found internationally please let me know so I may update this post).

Marinade:
Machacho's mild peri peri sauce
Machacho's mild dry spice (powder)
Salt/Pepper
Lemon Juice
Ground red chilies
Chili Flakes (not too much)
Paprika
Turmeric
Ground ginger & garlic
Ground cumin & coriander
Robertson's chicken spice

Preparation:

Take your chicken fillet, make slits in the meat. Be careful not to go so deep.
Marinate the chicken and make sure the marinade goes in to the slits and keep over night or for a few hours.
We used a water griller to grill the meat, but any griller will do.
Keep basting the chicken as you turn with the next over marinade.
When the chicken has cooked, butter up some burger rolls, add chicken, cheese, lettuce, and a sauce of; mayo, tomato sauce, garlic sauce, machacho peri peri sauce and the dry spice mild machacho.
You can serve with fried chips.
