Cooking Steps

Roast the potatoes & corn
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut chat potatoes and corn cob in half. 
• Cut bacon into 1cm pieces.
• Place potatoes on one side of a lined oven tray. 
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to 
coat. Add corn to other side of tray. Roast for  
15 minutes.
• Remove tray from oven. Sprinkle bacon and 
Cheddar cheese over potatoes.
• Roast until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted 
and golden, a further 8-10 minutes. 
TIP: Cut any larger chat potatoes into quarters! You 
want them to all be similar in size.  
Little cooks: Help sprinkle the cheese and bacon over 
the potatoes. Be careful, the tray is hot! 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, trim green beans.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Thinly slice spring onion.
• Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.

Cook the greens
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
high heat. Cook green beans, tossing, until tender, 
4-5 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season 
with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate. Cover to 
keep warm. 
TIP: Add a dash of water to help speed up the cooking 
process! 

Flavour the chicken
4

• In a medium bowl, combine cornflour, stock 
concentrate and Nan’s special seasoning.
• Add chicken and toss to coat. 

Cook the chicken
5

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with enough 
olive oil to coat the base.
• When oil is hot, shake off any excess spice 
mixture from chicken, then cook chicken, tossing 
occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 
6-8 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting 
crowded).
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink 
inside.

Finish & serve
6

• Top potatoes with spring onion. Spread corn with 
the butter, then season to taste.
• Divide popcorn chicken, corn cobs and green beans 
between plates. Drizzle chicken with BBQ sauce and 
ranch dressing. Serve with cheesy bacon potatoes 
and mustard mayo. Enjoy! 
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by drizzling over 
the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing!
