Make the fried chicken

  • Gently slip the coated chicken into the hot (but not smoking) oil and fry till golden brown and tender.

Assemble the burger

  • Slice a burger bun horizontally into half and spread the mayonnaise evenly.
  • Place the lettuce, pickled gherkins, onion rings & tomato slices. Place the freshly fried chicken breast and top up with a slice of cheese. You can repeat the toppings if you wish before placing the remaining half of the burger bun on top.
  • Serve immediately with potato fries and coleslaw
