Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle over the Central American style spice mix. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

2

Meanwhile, halve the lime. In a medium bowl, combine half the lime juice with the olive oil for the dressing and the sugar (see pantry for both amounts). Set aside. 

Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board. Cut into 1cm chunks.

Halve the burger buns.

 

3

Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film. Pop onto a board, then give it a bash with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2 cm thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a medium bowl and whisk. Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl and season with salt (see pantry for amount) and pepper.

Dip the chicken into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging and discard any excess egg.

4

Pop a large frying pan on high heat and add enough oil to completely coat the bottom of the pan. TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly - heat for 2-3 mins before you add the chicken.

Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan, reduce the heat to medium-high and fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 mins total. Turn every 2-3 mins and adjust the heat if necessary. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

5

When everyting's nearly ready, put the burger buns into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Add the avocado and most of the rocket (save a handful for the burger buns) to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to lightly coat the leaves. 

6

When everything's ready, spread the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount) over the bun lids. Top the bases with the chicken burgers and drizzle over the hot sauce. Add the reserved rocket leaves, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.

Add a burger to each plate and serve with the spiced chips and avocado salad on the side.
