Instructions

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 chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips 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.

2

Meanwhile, crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a medium bowl and whisk.

Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl, season with the salt (see pantry for amount) and pepper. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Dip the chicken into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it is 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.

3

In a small bowl, mix together the honey and hot sauce. This is your hot honey sauce- set aside for now. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

4

Pop a large frying pan on high heat and add enough oil to 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, 10-12 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.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

5

Meanwhile, when the chips have around 10 mins remaining, add the lardons to the tray. Return to the oven and roast until golden, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.

In a large bowl, add the coleslaw and soured cream. Scatter over the blue cheese, season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. 

Halve the burger buns. When the chicken has 2 mins left, pop the buns onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

6

When everything's ready, pop the buns onto your plates.

Spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) over the bun bases, then top with a handful of rocket, the fried chicken and drizzle over the buffalo style hot sauce. Sandwich shut with the bun lids.

Serve your burgers with the bacon chips and blue cheese slaw alongside. 

Enjoy!
