Spicy-fried chicken burger

1. Place the chicken fillets between sheets of greaseproof paper and flatten them out lightly with a rolling pin until 1cm thick. Place in a shallow bowl and pour over the buttermilk, cover and chill for 2-4 hours.

2. Meanwhile, mix together the red onion, chilli, cabbage and fennel seeds. Halve the pickled cucumber lengthways, then thinly slice and add to the salad with the pickled juice. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

3. Mix together the flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic and oregano, and spread half on to a large plate. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, lay them on the floured plate and sprinkle over the remainder until the chicken is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

4. Pour 5cm of oil into a wok or large pan and heat to 175ºC or until a piece of bread browns in 40 seconds. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes turning half way, until brown, cooked through with no pink meat and any juices run clear. Drain on kitchen paper.

5. Spread the garlic mayonnaise on the base of the buns. Top with the fried chicken and slaw then sandwich the lid on top. Add a dash of hot pepper sauce, if liked, and serve.
