Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat oven to 220 °C or 210 °C fan bake. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Cook chips
- Wash and slice the unpeeled 600 g potatoes and 200 g sweet potato into chunky chips. Toss them on the prepared oven tray with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes or until tender and crispy.Note: If using frozen chips cook according to packet directions.
Prep chicken
- Pat 600 g chicken breast dry. Place your hand flat on top of the chicken and slice through horizontally. Add ¼ cup cornflour to a plate. Whisk 1 egg in a separate shallow bowl and add ½ cup Southern style seasoning to a separate plate. Coat the chicken in the cornflour, then dip into the egg to coat and then press firmly into the Southern style seasoning to coat.
Cook chicken
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add the crumbed chicken (cook in batches if needed), and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
To finish
- Meanwhile, thinly slice ½ iceberg lettuce. Cut 50 g cheese into slices. Cut 4 burger buns in half. When the chips have 5 minutes of cooking time remaining, add the burger buns cut side up on the top rack in the oven and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden.
To serve
- Top the burger bun bases with the mayonnaise, lettuce, crispy chicken, cheese and bun top. Divide the burgers and chips between plates with tomato sauce on the side for dipping.
