Ingredients

  • 4 x 170g chicken breast fillets, cut into thirds lengthways
  • 600ml buttermilk
  • Sunflower oil, to deep-fry
  • 2 cups (300g) plain flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 cup (100g) whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 6 white bread rolls, split
  • Salad leaves, to serve (optional)
  • Homemade pickles
  • 1 telegraph cucumber, thinly sliced (a mandoline is ideal)
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon caster sugar

Directions

  1. For the pickles, toss all the ingredients together in a plastic container with 1 teaspoon sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Place chicken in a shallow ceramic dish and cover with the buttermilk. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Half-fill a saucepan with oil and heat to 190C (if you don’t have a kitchen thermometer, a cube of bread will turn golden in 30 seconds).
  4. Combine flour and cayenne pepper in a bowl and season with salt. Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  5. In 3 batches, deep-fry the chicken, turning, for 6-8 minutes until golden, crisp and cooked through. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  6. Spread the mayonnaise generously over the rolls, then fill with the chicken, pickles and salad leaves, is using.
