3
potato
1 sachet
dried oregano
2 clove
garlic
1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 packet
chicken thigh
½
onion
1 packet
mayonnaise
(Contains Egg; )
1
cucumber
1
tomato
1 bag
salad leaves
1 block
feta cheese
(Contains Milk; May be present Tree Nuts. )
olive oil
¼ cup
vinegar (white wine or red wine)
1 tsp
honey
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with the dried oregano. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the potato to size so it cooks in time.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the garlic. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, garlic & herb seasoning, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken thigh, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a generous pinch of salt and sugar. Stir to dissolve, then add the onion to the pickling liquid with just enough water to cover the onion. Stir to coat and set aside until serving.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, 2 minutes on each side. Remove the pan from the heat, then add the honey and turn the chicken to coat. Transfer the chicken to a second oven tray lined with baking paper and bake until cooked through, 8-12 minutes (depending on size). TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour! TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice in a second small bowl. Set aside. Finely chop the cucumber and tomato. Drain the pickled onion (reserve some pickling liquid for the dressing). In a second medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomato, pickled onion, mixed salad leaves, a dash of pickling liquid and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste and toss to coat.
Slice the garlic and herb charred chicken. Divide the chicken, oregano fries and salad between plates. Crumble the feta over the salad. Serve with the zesty mayo and any remaining lemon wedges.
