Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

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

Put a large baking tray (or two!) in the oven to heat up

Add your chicken breast[s] to another baking paper-lined tray (or two!) and season with a pinch of salt

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 18-19 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 1
2

Boil half a kettle

Dust your work surface with a generous sprinkling of flour

Unwrap your puff pastry and roll it out lengthways into a long rectangle or until it is approx. doubled in length

Step 2
3

Once rolled into a long rectangle, roll it up into a tight log[s]

Step 3
4

Cut each log in half (1 piece per person!)

Place the pastry round[s], spiral side up and squash with the palm of your hand to a flattened disc

Step 4
5

Roll the pastry disc[s ]into large circle[s], approx. 14cm wide

Remove the heated tray[s] from the oven and drizzle with vegetable oil, add your pastry disc[s] to the tray[s] and top with another drizzle of vegetable oil

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 15 min, turning once half way, or until the pastry is until golden, cooked through and the edges have puffed up – these are your golden puffed bun[s]

Step 5
6

Combine your gravy base with 50ml [75ml] [100ml] boiled water in a heatproof bowl, whisk thoroughly and put in the microwave and cook for 1 min or until thickened

Once thickened add your hoisin sauce and soy sauce and stir it all together – this is your hoisin glaze

Step 6
7

Meanwhile, wash your salad, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Cut your cucumber into thin batons

Trim and chop your spring onion[s] in half, then cut lengthways into thin strips

Roughly chop your coriander

Once the chicken is cooked shred apart using two forks – this technique is known as 'pulling', add your hoisin glaze and give everything a good mix up – this is your hoisin chicken

Step 7
8

Slice the golden puffed bun[s] open carefully with a knife, so you create a pocket

Divide the hoisin chicken evenly between the buns

Add some cucumber batons, sliced spring onion and chopped coriander to the bun[s]

Serve the remaining cucumber, spring onion and coriander to the side with the salad and dress with your rice vinegar

Enjoy!
