Instructions

Cook the Wedges
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop the wedges 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 on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Fry the Chicken
2

Pop the diced chicken breast into a small bowl with the cornflour. Mix well to coat. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and stir-fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Broccoli Time
3

While the chicken cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in another large frying pan on medium-high heat. Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.
When the oil is hot, add the Tenderstem® broccoli and stir-fry for 2-3 mins, then add a splash of water. Pop a lid on the pan, or cover in foil, and cook until tender, a further 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
Once cooked, transfer to a plate or bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.

Mix the Firecracker Sauce
4

Meanwhile, mix together the sriracha (add less if you don't like heat), soy sauce, ketchup and water for the sauce (see ingredients for both amounts) in a small bowl.
Once the chicken has cooked, add half the ginger puree to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1 min.
Pour in the sauce, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 min until thickened, then remove from the heat.

Make the Spicy Seasoning
5

When everything is nearly ready, trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop.
In a small bowl, combine the Chinese Five Spice, salt and sugar (see ingredients for both amounts). Wipe out the (now empty) broccoli pan and pop on medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the chilli (use less if you don't like heat), spring onion, spice mixture and the remaining ginger puree. Stir-fry for 1 min.

Finish and Serve
6

When the wedges are ready, add the spicy seasoning from the pan to the wedges tray and toss to coat.
Reheat the chicken if necessary. TIP: Add a splash of water if it's a little dry.
Share the spiced wedges between your plates with the firecracker chicken alongside, spooning over the remaining sauce from the pan.
Serve with the broccoli alongside. Enjoy!
