What Is a Crispy Patty Burger?
A crispy patty burger is defined by its crunchy and specially seasoned coating that gives each bite a satisfying texture and flavour. The preparation of a Street Burger crispy patty burger begins with covering a chunky fillet of chicken breast in this signature crunchy coating, which turns a perfect golden brown once fried. The marination on the chicken and the seasoning in the coating are key — Street Burger pays close attention to ensure every crispy patty burger tastes top-notch.
Equally important is the fry on the fillet — it has to be cooked for just the right amount of time, at the right temperature, to maintain the tenderness of the meat while achieving that irresistible crispness.
What Is a Grilled Patty Burger?
Street Burger grilled burgers, on the other hand, are made with chicken or beef meat patties that are char-grilled to perfection. Every juicy patty is impeccably seasoned and carefully grilled over a flame with the intention of creating the best grilled burgers in Colombo, regardless of which burger you pick off the menu. The cook, taste, and texture need to be on-point to ensure that the patty and whatever other condiments are used to make the burger, complement one another.
