Cooking Steps

Marinate the chicken
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Place chicken thigh between two sheets of baking 
paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling 
pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm.
• In a large bowl, combine the milk, white wine 
vinegar (for the chicken) and a pinch of salt and 
pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  

Bake the wedges
2

• Meanwhile, cut sweet potato into wedges.
• When chicken has 25 minutes left marinating, place 
wedges on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, 
sprinkle over chicken salt and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. 
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the wedges 
between two trays. 

Pickle the cucumber
3

• While wedges are baking, slice cucumber into  
thin rounds.
• In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar 
(for the pickle) and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
• Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water 
to just cover cucumber. Set aside.  

Fry the chicken
4

• Once chicken has marinated, in a second medium 
bowl, combine All-American spice blend, 
cornflour, the plain flour and a pinch of salt and 
pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with 
enough olive oil to coat the base.
• Shake off excess flour and shallow fry crumbed 
chicken (watch out, it might splatter!) in batches 
until golden and cooked through (when no longer 
pink inside), 3-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a 
paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with a pinch  
of salt. 
TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the chicken does not stick 
to the pan. 

Assemble the slaw
5

• While chicken is cooking, halve bake-at-home 
burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack 
until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
• In a third medium bowl, combine shredded 
cabbage mix and mustard mayo. Season  
to taste. 

Finish & serve
6

• Drain pickled cucumber.
• Top burger buns with mustard mayo slaw, DIY 
Southern fried chicken and some pickled cucumber.
• Serve with sweet potato wedges and remaining 
cucumber. Enjoy!
