- ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder

- 2 teaspoons mustard sauce

- 2 tablespoons pickle juice

Preparation
- Step 1 · 10 minutesCut more than 2 lb chicken breast into small cubes after first thinning the thick parts and slicing diagonally. Add the salt, garlic powder, black pepper powder, crushed red peppers, red chili powder, cumin powder, onion powder, tomato ketchup, mustard sauce, egg, and all-purpose flour to the chicken. Mix thoroughly. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes (refrigerate if longer).
- Step 2Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and pickle juice in a bowl. Mix until smooth. The resulting sauce has a flavor similar to Big Mac sauce. Scrape the sides and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Step 3Heat a large pan on medium-low flame. Drizzle with a little oil. Cook a small test portion of the marinated chicken mixture to check seasoning. Remove when cooked through.
- Step 4Reheat the pan on medium flame and add a little oil. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the marinated chicken mixture per patty. Spread thinly in the pan, press lightly to shape, and cook about 2 minutes per side until the edges turn white, then flip.
- Step 5After flipping the patty and cooking for about 1 minute, place a slice of cheese on top. Continue cooking until the cheese melts and the edges are done. Remove from the pan.
- Step 6Spread the chilled special sauce on both halves of the burger buns. Layer with lettuce, sliced onions, and tomato (or any preferred vegetables). Place the cheesy patty on top.
- Step 7For make-ahead, store the cooked patties separately in the refrigerator (without cheese). When ready to serve, reheat the patties, adding cheese during the final minute so it melts. Drizzle a little oil if needed while reheating. Keep vegetables separate until assembly to avoid sogginess.
- Step 8Serve the assembled burgers immediately with air-fried fries on the side.
Notes
- Mustard sauce may be replaced with a little lemon juice.
- Garlic and onion powders may be replaced with fresh equivalents.
- Pickle juice provides Big Mac-like flavor; substitute with a little vinegar if unavailable.
- Patties are formed by spreading mixture directly in the pan; size is flexible around 2 tablespoons per patty.
- Cook on medium flame approximately 2 minutes per side until edges whiten.
- Add cheese during the last minute of cooking.
- Store patties and vegetables separately until final assembly to avoid sogginess.
- Air-fried fries are recommended as a side; link to that recipe is in the video description.
