Ingredients

9 ounces - chicken breast
1 tbsp - cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons - salt
1 tsp - black pepper
1 tsp - paprika
2 teaspoons - garlic powder
1 tsp - MSG
1 cup - all-purpose flour
¼ cup - cornstarch
1 tsp - baking powder
½ tsp - salt
½ tsp - black pepper
½ tsp - garlic powder
½ tsp - paprika
½ tsp - MSG
1 cup - water
6 - garlic slider buns
1–1 ½ cup - iceberg lettuce
mcChicken sauce

Instructions

Blend the chicken breast with cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and MSG until smooth. Oil your hands and shape the mixture into 6 small patties. Freeze until firm, this helps them keep their shape when frying.
Add all dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking powder + spices) to a bowl. Dredge each frozen patty once in the dry mix. After all patties are coated, add 1 cup of water to the bowl and mix → this creates the wet batter. Dip each patty directly into the wet batter and place it straight into hot oil, do NOT let them sit after dipping.
Fry the patties in hot oil until golden and crispy. Let them drain on a rack or paper towel.
Slice your garlic knot buns. Spread McChicken sauce on both sides. Add shredded iceberg lettuce. Place the crispy chicken patty on top. Close and brush the buns lightly with garlic butter if desired.
