Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. Cut potato into wedges. • Place potato on a lined oven tray, sprinkle over mixed sesame seeds, add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice pear into batons. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sesame oil blend (see ingredients) and soy sauce. Set aside.

• In a shallow bowl, combine Southeast Asian spice blend, the plain flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. • In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Dip chicken tenderloins into flour mixture, followed by egg, and finally in panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base over medium-high heat. • When the oil is hot, cook crumbed chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The Southeast Asian spice blend on the chicken was a standout, delivering bold, well-seasoned crunch that the whole family enjoyed. Some found the sesame flavour across the wedges, slaw dressing, and mayo a little overpowering, so adjust to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward to pull together, though crumbing the chicken does take a little extra time and creates a fair few dishes to wash up.
  • Suggestions: Several reviewers noted the panko breadcrumbs ran short — having a little extra on hand helps coat all the chicken evenly. If the sesame mayo feels too strong, plain mayo or a sweet chilli sauce works well as an alternative dipping sauce. Some also found the sweet potato wedges needed a few extra minutes beyond the suggested 25 to cook through properly.
  • Leftovers: A few customers enjoyed leftover chicken the next day, tucked into wraps or reheated in the air fryer to bring back the crunch.
  • Portions: Opinions were mixed — some found the meal generous, while others felt the chicken and sweet potato wedges were on the smaller side for two to four people.
  • Cooking method: The air fryer was popular for the chicken, though several reviewers noted it can dry the chicken out or burn the sesame seeds on the wedges, so keep a close eye on cooking times.
