Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Add the waxy potatoes to a heatproof bowl, then cover the bowl with cling film and pierce a few holes in the top with a fork
Put the bowl in the microwave for 6-8 min or until the potatoes are fork-tender
Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat
Slice your brioche bun[s] in half
Add the halved brioche to the pan, cut-side down, and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and golden
Set aside until serving and reserve the pan
Add the chicken thighs to a bowl with your soy sauce then mix well until evenly coated
Add your cornflour, ground paprika and a generous pinch of salt to a plate and mix together with a fork until well combined
Place the soy coated chicken thighs onto the floured plate, pressing firmly to coat the chicken evenly on all sides, then set aside – this is your coated chicken
Once the potatoes are fork-tender, add them to a baking tray and crush with the base of a mug to flatten them
Add a generous drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt to the tray and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray in the oven and cook for 18-22 min or until the potatoes are crisp and golden – these are your smashed potatoes
Once the potatoes are in the oven, wipe any brioche bun crumbs out of the reserved pan (this is to prevent burning)
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 9 min on each side, or until the outside is crisp and golden and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your crispy fried chicken
While the chicken is cooking, wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper
Remove the outer leaves from the lettuce and set aside, then cut the inner core[s] into wedges
Combine your honey and 2/3 of the sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a small bowl – this is your hot honey
Add your mayo and the remaining sriracha (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) to another small bowl and mix until fully combined – this is your sriracha mayo
To build your burger, top your toasted brioche base with the sriracha mayo and crispy fried chicken
Drizzle over the hot honey, then top with the remaining lettuce and the toasted brioche lid
Serve with the smashed potatoes and a lettuce wedge drizzled with a little olive oil and a pinch of pepper to the side
Enjoy!
