Cooking instructions

1.

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 and add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 10-15 min or until beginning to brown

Step 1
2.

Whilst the fries are cooking, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips

Step 2
3.

Combine your ground smoked paprika in a bowl with your ground cumin, dried oregano, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of salt and sugar – this is your spice mix

After an initial 10-15 min, remove the tray[s] from the oven and push the fries to one side

Whilst everything is cooking, peel and grate your garlic

Grate your cheddar cheese

Combine your mayo and grated garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!) in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a splash of cold water – this is your garlic mayo
