Cut the chicken breasts into smaller pieces to flatten them out.

Use a roller to flatten the chicken breasts between cling film.

Wash the chicken with lemon juice.

Add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the chicken.

Mix together 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, jerk seasoning, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, chicken seasoning, and all-purpose seasoning.

Blend the seasonings together and add some to the chicken, massaging it in.

Leave the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes if desired.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of plain flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and the remaining seasonings.

In another bowl, whisk 3 eggs with 2 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce and 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning.

In a separate bowl, mix 1.5 cups of milk with 1 teaspoon of all-purpose seasoning, 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning, and a pinch of salt.

Add the chicken to the milk mixture and let it soak for flavor.

Dip the marinated chicken into the egg mixture, then coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.

Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a pot until hot.

Add a piece of spring onion to the oil to check if it's hot enough.

Fry the chicken pieces for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the chicken and place it on a cooling rack.

Prepare the mayonnaise sauce by mixing 1/4 cup of mayonnaise with 3-4 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce.

Toast the burger buns in a pot with melted butter for a few seconds.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mayonnaise sauce on the bun, adding pickles, and placing the fried chicken on top.
