Ingredients

Method
  • For the sauce:  
  • ⅓ cup olive oil 
  • 1 T garlic crushed  
  • 1 T ginger crushed  
  • 1 t chilli, chopped  
  • 2 T Woolworths Asian Chilli Szechuan Pepper Oil  
  • 1 T honey 
  • 1 LemonGold® seedless lemon, juiced
  • For the crumb:  
  • 100 g flour 
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • 1 x 135 g tub Woolworths plain crumbs
  • 1 t dried dill
  • 1 LemonGold® seedless lemon, zested
  • For the chicken:
  • 500 g chicken breasts 
  • 2 LemonGold® seedless lemons, charred
  • To serve:
  • burger bun 
  • mayonnaise
  • lettuce 
  • rocket  

1. For the sauce combine all the ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil. Set aside.

2. Create a dredging station by placing the flour, and egg in separate shallow bowls. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko crumbs, dill and LemonGold®  zest.

3. Slice the chicken into strips and dust with the flavour, dip into the egg and toss in the panko crumbs until fully coated.

4. Cook in the air fryer at 180ºC for 12 minutes with the 2 lemons. Once cooked, squeeze the charred lemons over the chicken tenders.

5. To serve, build a burger with mayonnaise, lettuce, and rocket, the chicken tenders and drizzle over the lemon sauce. Alternatively, toss the chicken tenders in the lemon sauce and serve with rice and chopped spring onions.
