Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm slices, then chop into 2cm wide chips (no need to peel). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips, chop into roughly 1cm pieces. Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Bash the sachet of peppercorns with the back of a pan until crushed.

Bake the Chips
2

Pop the chips on a large, low-sided, wide baking tray. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. Once your oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through cooking. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary - you want the potatoes nicely spread out.

Prep the Chicken
3

Put the cornflour into a large bowl and season with the salt (see ingredients for amount), a grind of black pepper, and the ground ginger. Mix to combine. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and turn them over in the cornflour to coat well. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging. Pop a large frying pan on medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

Fry the Chicken
4

Once the oil is hot, lay in the chicken thighs, fry until crispy and golden, 12-14 mins. Turn every 2-3 mins. Discard any cornflour left in the bowl. Once cooked, remove from the heat and place the chicken onto kitchen paper lined plate. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Bake the Tenderstem®
5

Place the Tenderstem® on a baking tray, drizzle a little oil over and season with salt and pepper. When your chips are halfway through cooking, place the tray onto the middle shelf of the oven until cooked, 12-15 mins. Pop another frying pan onto a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the pepper and stir-fry until slightly charred, 4-5 mins. Season with salt. Add the garlic, spring onion, Chinese Five Spice and crushed peppercorns. Stir and cook for 1-2 mins, then remove from the heat.

Finish Off
6

Once the chips are cooked, remove them from oven and add the pepper mixture to the tray, mix everything together. Serve the chicken with the salt and pepper chips and broccoli on the side. Pop the Szechuan sauce into a little bowl for dipping and enjoy!
