What comes with the Fried Buttermilk Chicken Burger
- 01
Buttermilk chicken breast
The buttermilk-marinated chicken breast provides a juicy, tender centre beneath the crunchy coating.
- 02
Seasoned breading
A seasoned breading gives the chicken its crisp exterior and contrasts with the tender meat inside.
- 03
Soft bun
The soft bun holds the chicken and toppings together, adding a softer texture against the crunchy breading.
- 04
Lettuce
Crisp fresh lettuce adds another layer of crunch alongside the chicken and creamy mayonnaise.
- 05
Tomato
A slice of tomato adds a fresh element between the breaded chicken, lettuce and soft bun.
- 06
Mayonnaise
The creamy mayonnaise provides a smooth contrast to the crisp breading and fresh lettuce.
- 07
Chips
A portion of chips accompanies the burger, making this a burger-and-chips meal rather than a standalone bun.
What the Fried Buttermilk Chicken Burger is like
This burger centres on the contrast between crunchy seasoned breading and juicy, tender chicken breast. The buttermilk marinade is part of the chicken preparation, while the coating supplies the most noticeable crunch. A soft bun gives way more readily than the crisp exterior, so the textures stay distinct rather than feeling uniform. It is a comforting alternative to a beef burger, with the chicken taking the lead.
Lettuce adds fresh crispness, and the tomato brings a fresh element alongside the creamy mayonnaise. That mayonnaise softens the overall impression without replacing the coating's crunch. Served hot with chips, the plate suits someone who values texture as much as flavour.
Is the Fried Buttermilk Chicken Burger good value?
At a typical £7.49, this burger offers a chicken breast, bun, toppings and chips as one meal. Within the burgers section, it is the fifth lowest priced of the 12 items we track in this section, which helps place the cost against the other options we track.
Compare it with the Grilled Chicken Breast Burger if the fried coating is your main deciding factor, or the American Cheese Burger if you are choosing between chicken and beef. Many mains can be ordered with an eligible drink, but check whether this burger qualifies at your pub and compare the local meal price before deciding.
