Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Measure the butter (80g for 2 people / 160g for 4 people), chop into small cubes and set aside. • Thinly slice spring onion. Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine All-American spice blend, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to combine. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, add measured butter and basic sponge mix. Using finger tips, rub the butter into the sponge mix, until resembling fine breadcrumbs. • Add spring onion, shredded Cheddar cheese, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and the milk.Gently mix until the dough comes together.
TIP: Careful not to overmix the dough! TIP: Don't worry if the dough is slightly crumbly, gently press to bring together!
• Tip the dough onto a lined oven tray and press into a 12cm x 15cm rectangle, around 3cm thick. Cut dough into 6 even rectangles and gently separate. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a splash of milk. • Bake until lightly browned, 15-18 minutes.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. Meanwhile, to the bowl with the chicken, add cornflour and the plain flour and toss to combine. • When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, baby leaves, mayonnaise, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • In a medium heatproof bowl, combine gravy granules and the boiling water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), whisking, until smooth, 1 minute.
• Divide southern-fried chicken, homemade biscuits and creamy baby leaf slaw between plates. • Serve with gravy. Enjoy!
TIP: Spread any extra butter over biscuits if you like!
