I just wanna be clear…this spicy fried chicken sandwich isn’t supposed to taste like anything you order from a drive-thru menu. It was definitely inspired by a few different fast food spots, but that’s about it. We’re using dark meat here. I prefer dark meat for just about anything lol, but especially this sandwich. That…

You too, can successfully build a moist, juicy and extremely flavorful turkey burger in the privacy of your own home, and here’s how…
