Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into fries. • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Add chicken drumsticks, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 12-14 minutes. • Using tongs, remove the chicken from the water and transfer to a medium bowl. Pat dry with paper towel and allow to cool slightly.
TIP: Make sure the drumsticks are submerged in the water so they cook through.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice apple into sticks. Roughly chop baby leaves. Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • In a shallow bowl, combine cornflour, the plain flour and salt. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg and All-American spice blend. • Dip chicken into egg mixture to coat, then into corn flour mixture. • Repeat so drumsticks are coated twice. Set aside on a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, until tender, 3-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, add Worcestershire sauce, gravy granules and the boiling water, whisking, until smooth, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. • In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, apple, spinach, dill & parsley mayonnaise, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Top with diced bacon. Season to taste.
• Wash and dry frying pan and return to high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • Cook chicken in batches, turning, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the chicken doesn't stick to the pan!
• Divide potato fries, Kentucky-style fried chicken and creamy bacon-apple slaw between plates. • Serve with onion gravy. Enjoy!
