Once you've tried the crunch and flavour of cornflake-coated chicken, you might never go back to breadcrumbs! And to take the crunch factor up to the next level, I dip the buns into a combination of crispy fried onions and roasted peanuts. It looks and tastes great, but you can leave this step out if you're in a hurry. The gochujang (Korean chilli sauce) is also optional, but I really love the kick.
Serves 4
-
65g cornflakes
-
2 skinless chicken breasts
-
3 eggs
-
4 tbsp plain flour vegetable oil, for frying
-
1/2 cucumber, peeled into ribbons
-
2 spring onions, roughly chopped small handful of coriander leaves
-
2 tbsp fish sauce
-
1 lime, zested and juiced
-
100g roasted peanuts, crushed (optional)
-
3 heaped tbsp crispy fried onions (optional)
-
4 Little Gem lettuce leaves
-
4 brioche burger buns
FOR THE GOCHUJANG MAYONNAISE
-
2 tbsp gochujang chilli sauce
-
3 tbsp mayonnaise
-
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 Put all the ingredients for the gochujang mayonnaise into a bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
2 Crush the cornflakes in a bowl until they are a just bigger than breadcrumbs. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, so you have four thin pieces of chicken.
3 Crack the eggs into a wide, shallow bowl and beat with a fork. Put the flour into a similar bowl and season with a little salt. Put the crushed cornflakes into a third bowl. Dip the chicken first into the seasoned flour, then the egg and finally the cornflakes.
