Instructions
• Preheat the 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 the spring onion. Thinly slice apple into sticks. • In a medium bowl, combine All-American spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken thigh and toss to combine. Set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the measured butter and basic sponge mix. Using finger tips, rub the butter into the sponge mix, until resembling fine breadcrumbs. • Add the spring onion, Cheddar cheese, 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 the dough into 6 even rectangles and gently separate. Brush the tops of the scones with a splash of milk. • Bake until lightly browned, 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. 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, 14-16 minutes (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.
• While the chicken is cooking, boil the kettle. • In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, apple, baby leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • In a medium 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, Cheddar biscuits and apple slaw between plates. • Serve with gravy. Enjoy!
TIP: spread extra butter over the scones to serve if you want!
