• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
FOR THE CHICKEN BREADING:

• 1 egg
• 2 Tablespoons (30ml) water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe
- 1First, whip up the signature CBO sauce so the flavors can marry. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, minced white onion, crushed crispy onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir it well and let it chill in the fridge. This sauce is what gives the burger its savory, oniony punch.
- 2Prepare the chicken patty. Slice the chicken breast into a rectangular shape to fit your square bun. For the breading, set up two bowls: one with the flour and spices (salt, paprika, garlic powder), and another with the egg beaten with water. Dip the chicken into the flour, then the egg wash, then back into the flour for a thick, crunchy coating.
- 3Get the bacon crispy. Fry the bacon strips in a pan over medium heat until they're golden and stiff. Remove them and set them aside on a paper towel. Keep the bacon fat in the pan for extra flavor if you like, or wipe it out for a cleaner fry.
- 4Deep fry or shallow fry your breaded chicken patty at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-6 minutes per side until it's deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). While the chicken is hot, place the cheese slices on top so they start to melt.
- 5Toast your square bun until the edges are slightly crispy. Spread a generous amount of the CBO sauce on both the top and bottom bun. This burger is all about the layers, so don't be shy with the sauce.
- 6Assemble the CBO: On the bottom bun, place the cheesy chicken patty. Add the crispy bacon strips. On the top bun side, pile on the shredded lettuce and a heavy sprinkle of crispy fried onions. Flip the top onto the bottom and enjoy your homemade masterpiece.
