Cooking Steps

Bake the fries
1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into fries.
  • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

Pickle the onion
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients).
  • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
  • Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside.
Cook the bites
3
  • When the fries have 15 minutes remaining, set your air fryer to 200°C.
  • Place mozzarella cauliflower bites into the air fryer basket and cook until browned and heated through, 10-12 minutes.

TIP: No air fryer? Place mozzarella cauliflower bites on a lined oven tray. Cook bites for 8-12 minutes until cooked through.

Prep the salad & the sauce
4
  • Finely shred cos lettuce.
  • Thinly slice tomato into wedges.
  • In a large bowl, combine hot sauce, BBQ sauce and a splash of water. Set aside.
  • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
  • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Heat the buns & flavour the bites
5
  • Slice hot dog buns in half lengthways, 3/4 of the way through.
  • Place buns on lined oven tray and bake until golden, 4-5 minutes.
  • In a second large bowl, combine cos, tomato, a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season.
  • When the bites are done, to the bowl with buffalo sauce, add mozzarella cauliflower bites and toss to coat.
Finish & serve
6
  • Fill cut side of buns with buffalo mozzarella cauliflower bites, chicken and some cos salad. Drizzle over ranch dressing.
  • Serve with potato fries and remaining salad. Enjoy!

TIP: No need to overfill the buns, any extra filling can be served on the side.
