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
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 give everything a good mix up, then set aside for later (this will help to tenderise your chicken!) – this is your marinated chicken
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries
Add the fries to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp
Slice half your cucumber finely into discs
Cut the remaining cucumber into batons
Add the cucumber discs and cucumber batons to a bowl with the remaining cider vinegar, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Mix it all together and set aside until serving – this is your quick-pickled cucumber
Add your cornflour and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] flour to a plate, season with a pinch of salt and a generous grind of pepper and give everything a good mix up – this is your flour mix
Add the marinated chicken to the flour mix, then press firmly into the mixture, making sure to evenly coat them on both sides – this is your coated chicken
Discard any remaining marinade
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 9 min on each side or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your crispy fried chicken thigh
Reserve the pan and the remaining cooking oil
Add your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and sriracha to a small heatproof bowl with a pinch of salt
Carefully pour the remaining cooking oil into the bowl, give it a good mix up – this is your chilli oil
Slice your brioche bun[s] in half
Add the brioche halves to a baking tray, cut side up, and put the tray in the oven for 4-5 min or until warmed through
To build your burger, spread your mayo on the warmed brioche base, then top with the quick-pickled cucumber discs and crispy fried chicken thigh, then drizzle the chilli oil (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) over the top
Top with the warmed brioche bun lid and serve the fries and quick-pickled cucumber batons to the side
Enjoy!
