Fakeaway Spice Bags

Sat, 28 October 2023

INGREDIENTS:
Preferred oil
8 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into chips
2 x chicken breasts (cut into thin strips)
Several tablespoons of soy sauce
Several tablespoons of potato starch or cornflour
1 onion, peeled & sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 red chilli, sliced
Curry Ketchup

METHOD:
1. Preheat the air fryer (or oven) to 200C.
2. Wash the chips to rinse off excess starch. Dry with a tea towel. In a bowl season the chips
with oil and a few tablespoons of spice bag seasoning. Mix well together (the amount of oil you
use will depend on the cooking method; an air fryer will require less oil on the chips compared to
an oven).
3. Using a 2-drawer air fryer, place seasoned chips in the tray and cook for about 25 minutes
shaking a few times. Alternatively, toss the chips on a preheated oven tray and place in a
preheated oven at 200C for about 40 minutes.
4. In a bowl season the raw chicken strips with a few tablespoons of soy sauce and a sprinkle of
spice bag seasoning, mix well together. Then, add a few large tablespoons of potato starch (or
cornflour) and coat the chicken evenly.
5. Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer tray with a drizzle of oil. Cook in the air fryer at 200C
for about 10 minutes or until cooked through (you can also cook in a preheated oven at 200C).
6. Season the sliced onion, pepper, and chilli with a drizzle of oil and sprinkle of spice bag
seasoning. Place in the air fryer tray (after the chicken is cooked) and cook in the air fryer at
200C for a few mins (alternatively toss on an oven proof dish and lightly cook in the oven for a
few minutes).
7. Finally, in a large bowl mix the chips, chicken strips, and onion & pepper together. You can
add more spice bag seasoning if you would like a more intense flavour!
8. Serve with a generous drizzle of Katsu Curry Ketchup.
