The marination time for the chicken and refrigeration time for the coleslaw is not included in the preparation time, so it is highly recommended that you marinate the meat and make the coleslaw ahead of time, especially if you wish to make a huge batch. And besides, marinating the chicken for longer hours will give a better taste.

Closing Thoughts

This ultra-crispy fried chicken burger with honey mustard coleslaw is another excellent recipe for lunch as well as dinner. Skinless chicken breasts are lean, so they are good for you. After frying them, you can remove the extra grease by dabbing each piece with a paper towel. Or, you can put a paper towel on a plate so it will absorb the oil from the fried chicken.
