Instructions

1
Pat the chicken cutlets dry, then season both sides with some of the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
2
In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, celery salt, garlic salt, baking powder, white pepper, and remaining paprika and chili powder. Put the beaten eggs in a second dish.
3
Dip each cutlet into egg, then press it through the seasoned flour until lightly coated all over. Set the coated pieces on a tray while the oil heats.
4
Cook the chicken in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until the coating is crisp and the centers reach 165 F / 74 C, working in batches so the pan stays hot.
5
Mix the mayonnaise with mustard powder, chopped pickles, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make a thick burger sauce.
6
Cool the chicken before packing. Portion each portion with one cutlet, one bun, lettuce, and sauce kept in a small separate cup so the burgers can be assembled after reheating.

Store and reheat

Refrigerate chicken, buns, lettuce, and sauce as separate components for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken uncovered in an air fryer, oven, or skillet until hot and crisp, then build the burger with cold lettuce and sauce. Freeze cooked cutlets only for up to 2 months; thaw overnight and re-crisp before serving.
