McDonald's SECRET Menu Item: Chicken McGriddle Recipe
Never heard of the Chicken McGriddle? That’s because it’s on McDonald’s SECRET menu, but we’ve reverse engineered the recipe and given it our own twist!
1 Eggs
Chicken Butter
Salt
Buttermilk
Syrup
Sugar
1 Cup Flour
Ritz Crackers
Panko Bread Crumbs
Baking Soda
Oregano
Thyme
Baking Powder
Onion Powder
Biscuit Cutter
Bacon
American Cheese
Griddle
Mixing Bowl
Whisk
Freezer Bag
Baking Pan
Egg Ring
First we make pancakes! Add 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1.5 Tbsp. sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk together. Then add 1 beaten egg, 2 Tbsp. melted butter, and 1.5 cups of buttermilk and whisk.
You’ll need any kind of griddle for this part and a biscuit cutter. Place the cutter on the griddle over a medium heat and add 2 Tbsp. of pancake batter. Boil some maple syrup until it changes to a caramel color to form chunky crystals. Layer them into your biscuit mix in the cutter. Cover with 2 more Tbsp. of batter. Once bubbles start to come out the bottom edges of the biscuit cutter, remove it and flip the biscuit.
Place a chicken breast into a large freezer bag skin side up. Seal the bag and tenderizer your meat until flattened to about 1/4 inch. Add buttermilk to the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least a few hours.
Crumble 1 3/4 Cup of Ritz crackers and add to a mixing bowl along with 1/4 cup of panko bread crumbs, 1/2 Tbsp. thyme, 1 Tbsp. oregano, 1 Tbsp. Onion Powder, and 1/4 tsp. of salt. Whisk together.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Add your marinated chicken breast to the mixture and coat thoroughly then place into a baking pan. Cook for 20 minutes.
Grease your griddle and cook 1 egg in an egg ring to keep it small.
Cut your pancake in half then lay down some american cheese, your egg, chicken, bacon, close with the other half of your pancake, and enjoy!
