A crispy, flavour-packed Irish takeaway classic! Juicy chicken pieces and golden chips are tossed in sautéed peppers, onions, and fiery chilli, then brought together with a generous sprinkle of Sanders Seasoning for that perfect salty, savoury hit. It’s the ultimate fakeaway—crispy, spicy, and seriously addictive.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ cup buttermilk
2 tbsp Sesh Oil or hot sauce of your choice, plus more to taste
6 cups crinkle chips
1 ½ cups flour
2 tbsp Sanders Seasoning
1 ½ tsp baking powder
Oil for cooking
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp Sanders Seasoning

Directions

Cut the chicken thighs into small slices.
In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk and Sesh Oil. Add the chicken and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Cook your chips (in the air fryer, oven, or however you prefer).
Prepare the flour dredge by mixing the flour, first measure of Sanders Seasoning, and baking powder in a shallow bowl.
Heat 2.5cm of oil in a shallow frying pan.
Dredge each buttermilk-coated chicken piece in the seasoned flour mix, then fry in small batches until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
Remove most of the hot oil from the pan, leaving just enough to sauté the onions and capsicums until softened.
In a large bowl, combine the fries, crispy chicken, sautéed onions, and capsicums. Season with the second measure of Sanders Seasoning and Sesh Oil to taste (start with about a teaspoon).
Toss everything together until well coated.
Serve in foil-lined paper bags, just like the Irish! Eat out of the bag with a fork. Naughty. Yum.
