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 thin chips
Add the chips to a 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 golden and crispy
While the chips are cooking, cut your free range chicken thighs into strips
Add the chicken strips to a bowl with your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and soy sauce then mix well until evenly coated
Add your cornflour and give everything a good mix up until the chicken is fully coated in the cornflour mixture – these are your coated chicken strips
Combine your sriracha (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) with your mayo in a small bowl – this is your sriracha mayo
Wash your lettuce, pat it dry with kitchen paper, then remove 2 outer leaves per person and set these aside for serving
Cut the remaining lettuce in half
Slice your tomato[es] finely
Combine your white wine vinegar with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a separate small bowl – this is your dressing
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil (enough to cover the whole base of the pan) over a high heat
Once hot, add the coated chicken strips and cook for 5-6 min on each side or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your fried free range chicken
Tip: Add more oil to the pan if it is looking a little dry
Meanwhile, slice your brioche bun[s] in half
Add the brioche halves to a baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 4-5 min or until warmed through
Fill your warmed brioche bun with the outer lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, fried free range chicken and sriracha mayo
Serve the chips and lettuce halves to the side
Drizzle the lettuce with the dressing and serve any remaining sriracha mayo to the side for dipping
Enjoy!
