Southern Fried Chicken, Wedges, Warm Pea, Roasted Carrot, Beans and Baby Sweetcorn salad
Tonight's dinner didn't turn out anything like it was meant to. I was going to make Southern Fried Chicken following a recipe I had used before, with breadcrumbs, cooked bacon into fine breadcrumbs and spices covering the chicken; but then I suddenly realised that I had used my Hex B at lunchtime.
I remembered reading a recipe on line (which of course I couldn't find again) where they used raw bacon minced in a food processor to "massage into the chicken", so I tried that. Well, obviously my chicken was having none of it. The minced bacon and spices remained very aloof and just sat in clumps in the bowl. In the end I had to place the chicken mini fillets on a baking tray and pat the paste down on top. It tasted good, but was a lot of hassle.
I served the chicken on a warm salad made from fresh peas, roasted carrot batons with cumin and caraway seeds, green beans, baby sweetcorn and pea shoots, with a dressing made from yogurt and sweet chilli sauce.
I served jacket wedges separately, but when I looked at my plate on the table I wasn't sure that I would still be having one-third superfree if I had the potatoes, so I decided not to eat any.
So far so good. Obviously, as I had made enough wedges for two people, there were quite a few left. When I'd finished my meal, I thought I'd have "just one" wedge. I am sure you can guess what happened next? Yep, I ate the rest of them
