Method
Step 1
Mix the seasoning and both flours in a large shallow bowl then set aside.Step 2
Whisk the yoghurt and egg in a bowl then add the milk 1 tbsp at a time until the batter is the consistency of single cream.Step 3
Add the chicken to the batter, turn to coat then cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins.Step 4
Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ gas 6. Pour the oil into a large saucepan so it’s ¾ full and heat to 190°C.Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Then dip into the seasoning mix, ensuring it is fully coated then place on a lined baking sheet.Step 6
Carefully lower 1 breast into the hot oil and cook for 5 mins, turning halfway through. You may want to do this in batches of 2 at a time. Remove with a slotted spoon and rest on a cooling rack set over a lined baking tray while you fry the remaining chicken.Step 7
Once all the chicken is fried, cook in the oven for 15-20 mins until cooked through.Step 8
Meanwhile, cook the chips to packet instructions.Step 9
Heat a large pan of boiling salted water and cook the sweetcorn for 10 mins. Drain well and season with freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to a bowl and toss in the butter.Step 10
Evenly spread the bun bases with mayo then add a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato. Top each with crispy chicken and sandwich on the lid. Serve with corn, coleslaw, fries and ketchup on the side.
