Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6 Cut the potatoes (skins on) into thin chips.

Step 2

Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Add the chips to the tray with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper, give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until crispy – these are your fries.

Step 3

While the fries are in the oven, add the chicken thighs, soy sauce and smoked paprika to a bowl and give everything a good mix up then set aside.

Step 4

Add the cornflour, dried oregano and 1 tbsp flour to a shallow plate with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and mix well – this is your herbed flour mix.

Step 5

Remove the chicken thighs from the bowl and firmly press each one into the herbed flour mix, making sure to evenly coat them on both sides – these are your coated thighs. Tip: For a spicier burger, go heavy on the black pepper!

Step 6

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil (enough to cover the whole base of the pan) over a medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once hot, add the coated thighs and cook for 8-9 min on each side or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your crispy fried chicken.

Step 8

Meanwhile, cut the ciabatta rolls in half. Add the halved rolls to a separate baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 4-5 min or until warmed through.

Step 9

Shred the little gem lettuce by thinly slicing the lettuce. Dice the tomato finely.

Step 10

Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic.

Step 11

Combine the chopped garlic with the mayonnaise, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and black pepper – this is your garlic mayo. Tip: Don't like raw garlic? Go easy!

Step 12

Combine the balsamic vinegar with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your salad dressing.

Step 13

Spread your warmed brioche rolls with the garlic mayo, then pile up the shredded lettuce and crispy fried chicken on top.

Step 14

Serve the fries, diced tomato and remaining shredded lettuce to the side.

Step 15

Drizzle the salad dressing over the tomato and lettuce. Enjoy!
