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
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into thin chips
Add the chips to a baking paper-lined baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp
Combine your cornflour and southern fried seasoning (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a large bowl with 3 tbsp [4 1/2 tbsp] [6 tbsp] flour and mix it all together
Add your chicken to the bowl and give everything a good mix up until the chicken is evenly coated – this is your coated chicken
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once the pan is very hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 5-6 min on each side until golden and crispy and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Season with a generous pinch of salt – this is your southern fried chicken
(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)
Slice the green parts of your spring onion[s] into thin rounds, then finely dice the remaining white parts, keeping them separate
Cut your avocado[s] in half lengthways, around the stone
Remove the stone[s] using a spoon, then scoop out the avocado flesh and finely dice, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper and a little of olive oil, give it a good mix up on the board
Grate your tomato[es]
Combine your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and grated tomatoes in a small bowl with diced spring onion whites and a drizzle of olive oil
Season with a pinch of sugar and a generous pinch of salt – this is your chipotle salsa
Serve the southern fried chicken over the chips
Spoon over the chipotle salsa (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and seasoned avocado
Drizzle over your crème fraîche and garnish with the green spring onion rounds
Garnish with the sliced spring onion
Enjoy!
