Instructions

Bake your Wedges
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Cut the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. 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 middle shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Make the Slaw
2

Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Zest and cut the lemon into wedges.

Pop the coleslaw mix and spring onion into a large bowl with half the mayonnaise. Squeeze in a little lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, then mix together.

Taste and season again if needed, then set your slaw aside.

Prep the Chicken
3

Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper or cling film.

Pop onto a board, then give it a bash with the bottom of a saucepan until it’s 1-2cm thick. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the Mississippi style spice mix all over. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a medium bowl and whisk. Put the panko breadcrumbs and lemon zest into another bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Get Breading
4

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.

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.

Time to Fry
5

Once hot, carefully lay the breaded 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.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, transfer the fried chicken to your plates. Share out the wedges and slaw alongside.

Add a dollop of the remaining mayo for dipping and serve with any remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
