Cooking Instructions and Tips

Eyes on the Fries
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 fries (no need to peel).

Pop the fries 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 top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Get Prepped
2

Meanwhile, trim and halve the cucumber lengthways (see ingredients for amount), then slice it lengthways into thin strips. Stack a handful of the slices at a time and slice them thinly again into matchsticks. TIP: This method of preparing veg is called a 'julienne' cut!

In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw, rice vinegar, a pinch of salt, a drizzle of olive oil and the sugar (see pantry for amount). Set aside to pickle.

In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and two thirds of the mayo. Set aside.

Crumb 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 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 and sesame seeds into another medium bowl, season with the 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.

Time to Fry
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.

Finishing Touches
5

Meanwhile, clean the plate you used earlier.

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to the (now empty) plate lined with kitchen paper.

Add the cucumber and remaining mayo to the slaw. Toss to combine.

Just before everything's ready, halve the burger buns. Pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Stack up and Serve
6

When everything's ready, spread some of the hoisin mayo over the bun bases. Top with the chicken schnitzel and some pickled cucumber slaw, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.

Serve your craft burgers with the fries and remaining slaw on the side, along with the remaining hoisin mayo for dipping.
