Making my wife a chicken caesar burger. Today my wife is having some friends over, so I told them I'd make them whatever they want. The warm summer day, so I was thinking a chicken caesar salad burger. And I know you can make that really tasty. Does sound amazing. I'll get those right up for you guys. So what are you hosting? I'm doing a cake embroidery party. Little sprinkles. You get little stencils. I didn't actually make the cakes or anything. But no one has time for all that. I go decorate our cakes, but I trust that these will be amazing. You guys gotta give me your honest feedback after, okay? So first thing I did was make a buttermilk marinade earlier in the morning. I did three cups of buttermilk, all those seasonings from earlier in the morning. Some pickle juice and a little bit of hot sauce. I got all mixed together. Then I tossed all my chicken in. I was using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. And I let those marinate for around 8 hours. I think I had around 10 chicken thighs. So for my dry batter, I did 4 cups of flour. Forgot about my spoon in there. Anybody else do that? Then I did a cup of cornstarch and a couple teaspoons of baking powder, followed by all the same seasonings from the marinade with two tablespoons of sugar. Then I went from the marinade to the dry batter, back to the marinade, and into the dry batter one more time, really pressing it in to get those nice flaky whatever. Then I chopped up two heads of romaine lettuce, threw it into my little spinner thing and put it on. I absolutely spin. Watch this. I set that to the side and made a quick Caesar dressing. I'll pop up the ingredients for it. I know everyone's gonna be like, oh, you didn't use any anchovies for it. But as I always say, the Worcestershire sauce does have anchovies in it. So that's a good enough for me. And every great Caesar salad needs croutons, so I decided to make them out of the buns. Just hit them with some garlic butter, parmesan, and threw those in the oven at 400. Then it was time to fry my chicken burgers. I did it with my turkey fryer so I could do way more, like, at once. And just look how insane these things came out. I literally ate one right out of the fryer, burnt my mouth out, but it was some of the best fried chicken that I've ever had. Then I just put them on a cooling rack. Then I just hit them with some garlic butter, parmesan, and threw those in the oven at 400. Then it was time to fry my chicken burgers.

I also made them some fries and a really good bean salad, which kind of irked me because there's literally no pasta in it at all. But everybody loved this meal. 10 out of 10.
