The Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger has a beautiful balance of savoury, sweet, and spicy. The bun is light, fluffy, and sweet, and pairs wonderfully with the crispiness of the buttermilk fried chicken. Caramelised onion adds a sweet sensation to the burger, and a hearty flavour. The sriracha aioli adds a mild spice to the burger, and combines with the sweetness of the caramelised onion to create a unique and delicious flavour! Fresh, locally-sourced iceberg lettuce and tomato add a freshness to the burger, and contrast a lightness to the think and sweet onion and the battered chicken.

The Eggplant Schnitzel Burger is one of the amazing vegan creations from Arbour Kitchen!
