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 to another baking paper-lined tray (or two!) and season with a pinch of salt

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 17-18 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 1
2

Boil a little water in a kettle

Dust your work surface with a generous sprinkling of flour

Unwrap your puff pastry and roll it out lengthways with a rolling pin 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 the log[s] 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 into large circle, 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 edge has puffed up – this is 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 (careful it may be hot!) add your hoisin sauce and soy sauce and stir it all together – this is your hoisin glaze

Step 6
7

Meanwhile, wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper and shred finely

Cut your cucumber into thin batons, trim and chop your spring onion[s] in half and cut lengthways into thin strips, then 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

Fill the bun with the hoisin chicken and add some cucumber batons, sliced spring onion and chopped coriander to the bun

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

Enjoy!
