The Chicken Mc.King Legend Burger!

The Chicken McKing Legend Burger

I found some Chicken mince in the discount fridge a week of so ago which has been loitering in the freezer. We’ve been a bit busy DIYing recently and not posted many recipes, but this has to be worth typing up before I go move a friend. Sue and I have both done a stretch at the well known Burger joint that sell reformed Chicken “Breast” sandwiches with Mayo and Lettuce. We thought we’d improve on that basic foundation……

The Burger Buns are Gluten free. The recipe is here - http://www.eatwellonuc.org.uk/index.php/recipes/27-gluten-free-diy-bread-buns

By way of building the Burger we went with the following “Plan” (This really was kitchen / food fun to entertain us in Lock-Down #3!)

Bun
Mayo
Salad, sliced Gherkins, Sliced Tomatoes
Chicken Burger
Crispy Bacon
Melted Gouda
Sliced Tomato
Salad

Bun

So the Chicken burger – Be warmer minced Chicken is really slimy and not great to handle….

We served ours with thick hand cut chips and Tomato sauce. We’ll be eating left over Burger for most of the day, but these were really good and well worth the effort! Realistically the quantities would easily have fed a family of four.

“N”  for Nori in our Ingredients Alphabet

We are fortunate in York to have quite a number of Asian students at the university so all the larger supermarkets have an Asian food section. Which made acquiring Nori sheets remarkably easy.

These Nori rolls aren’t really authentic but apart from the fact that Sue’s not overly keen of fish, Sushi would have been beyond our budget. So she made up a cross between Spring Rolls and Sushi.

Ingredients:-

Nori Sheets
Bean Sprouts
Onions, finely sliced
Carrots, batoned
Courgette, batoned
Cooked Beetroot, batoned
Mushrooms, sliced
Cucumber, batoned
Soy Sauce
Lettuce leaves
Roasted Garlic Chicken breast, sliced

Method:-

(1) Stir fry all the ingredients except the Beetroot, Lettuce and Cucumber.
(2) Mix the filling ingredients with a dash of Soy Sauce.
(3) Place Lettuce leaves on top of the Nori sheet.
(4) Spoon the filling ingredients into the middle of the sheet.
(5) Roll each parcel and either tick the ends in as you would with Spring rolls, or leave open.

We served ours with Sticky Rice and Peas, Home made Coleslaw and a Potato Salad. The whole gig was fresh colourful and very tasty.
