Instructions

Eyes on the Fries
1

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

Cut the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then cut 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, roast the chips on the middle shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through. 

Time to Salsa
2

Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve. Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board. Cut into 1cm chunks.

In a large bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.

Add the sweetcorn and avocado to the dressing and mix together. Set aside.

Prep the Chicken
3

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

Sprinkle the Cajun spice mix over both sides of the chicken and season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

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

Oh Crumbs
4

Dip the chicken into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate. IMPORTANT: 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 Shallow Fry
5

Once the oil is hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan and fry until golden brown, 2-3 mins on each side. Adjust the heat if necessary.

Transfer the chicken to a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Discard the oil from the chicken pan.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese. Halve the burger buns and sprinkle the cheese onto the bun bases. Just before serving, pop them into the oven until melted, 2-3 mins. 

Assemble and Serve
6

When ready, transfer the buns to your plates.

Top the cheesy bases with a piece of fried chicken and a handful of rocket. Spread the burger sauce over the bun lids and sandwich together. 

Serve with the avocado and corn salsa and fries alongside.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty, spicy chicken, though some found the Cajun seasoning overpowering; consider using less for a milder taste.
  • Ease of prep: Instructions were clear and easy to follow, but some found the preparation time longer than expected.
  • Suggestions: Try adding the burger sauce separately; consider including more salad in the burger for extra freshness.
  • Next-day meals: The corn and avocado salsa divided opinions; serve it separately to accommodate different preferences.
  • Cooking method: Some had success using an air fryer instead of pan-frying for the chicken.
