Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries
Add the fries to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the fries are golden and crisp
Meanwhile, add 80ml [120ml] [160ml] milk to a bowl with half your cider vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) – this is your marinade
Add your chicken thighs to the marinade and stir it all together, then set aside until later
Tip: This will help to tenderise your chicken!
Slice your cucumber finely into discs
Add the cucumber discs and the remaining cider vinegar to a bowl with a pinch of salt and sugar
Stir everything together and set aside – this is your quick-pickled cucumber
Heat a pot with a large knob of butter over a low heat
Once melted, remove the pot from the heat and add your sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) with a pinch of salt and sugar
Mix until fully combined – this is your buffalo sauce
Peel and chop (or grate!) your garlic
Chop your chives finely
Combine your mayo, half the chopped chives (save the rest for garnish!), chopped garlic, 1/2 tsp per person of the pickling liquid from the quick-pickled cucumber and a pinch of pepper in a bowl – this is your ranch-style dressing
Discard all the excess marinade from the chicken
Add your cornflour and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] flour to the bowl with the marinated chicken
Season with a pinch of salt and a generous grind of pepper and give everything a good mix up until the chicken is fully coated
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once the pan is very hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 9-10 min on each side or until golden, crisp and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your fried chicken
Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Do this in batches!
Serve the fried chicken on top of the fries with the quick-pickled cucumber to the side
Drizzle the chicken with the buffalo sauce (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and ranch-style dressing and garnish with the reserved chopped chives
Enjoy!
