  • 600g M&S Frozen Gastropub triple cooked chips
  • 6 sweetcorn cobettes
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter

Method

10 steps
  1. Step 1

    Mix the seasoning and both flours in a large shallow bowl then set aside.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Add the chicken to the batter, turn to coat then cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Step 7

    Once all the chicken is fried, cook in the oven for 15-20 mins until cooked through.

  8. Step 8

    Meanwhile, cook the chips to packet instructions.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
