Homemade Chicken Burger: From Bun to Crispy Crust (in Slovenian)

Join us for a workshop in the Food lab where we will prepare homemade burgers together. From scratch, from freshly baked buns to a crispy fried chicken. We will learn essential processes and techniques that allow us to create a balanced and flavourful meal with carefully selected ingredients, one that can easily be recreated at home.

We will begin by preparing enriched yeast dough for the buns: mixing, proofing, shaping, and baking them. We will then move on to preparing chicken thighs, which we will bread and fry in two stages to achieve a signature crispness and juiciness.

The burger will be complemented with a selection of sides and sauces. We will make caramelised onions, a simple homemade mayonnaise, banana ketchup, coleslaw, and piccalilli sauce.

Through hands-on work, we will explore how to combine flavours, textures, and proportions to create a well-balanced and juicy chicken burger.

About the mentor

The workshop will be led by Juš Mejaš, head of the cooking lab and a master of artisan baking, with several years of experience at Pekarna Osem in Ljubljana. Before working in the bakery, he started baking at home, improving his skills and developing a feel for dough through practice (and many failed loaves), which he later refined through professional work. Today, he shares this knowledge through workshops at Center Rog.
