Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

1. Flatten the chicken breasts slightly for even cooking.
2. In a bowl, mix buttermilk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Submerge the chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).

2. Prepare the Coating

1. In another bowl, mix flour, cornflour, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
2. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off.
3. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to create a thick, crispy coating.

3. Fry the Chicken

1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 170°C (340°F).
2. Fry the coated chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
3. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

4. Assemble the McChicken

1. Lightly toast the buns for extra texture.
2. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun.
3. Place the crispy chicken fillet on top.
4. Add shredded lettuce, then cover with the top bun.
