Little did you know the secret to the ultimate fried chicken is Ghee. Frying the chicken in Anchor™ Ghee will not only give you the most amazing crispy crunchy outside but the ghee will flavour the chicken in ways you never through possible. So what are you waiting for. Grab our ghee and get frying, you won’t be disappointed.  

Chicken Schnitzel
Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Chicken
  1. Take each chicken breast, place between two pieces of clingwrap and flatten with a meat tenderiser or rolling pin until evenly flat. Season with salt and set aside and repeat with the remaining 3.
  2. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in three large separate shallow dishes, season each of the well with salt and pepper.
  3. Using one chicken breast at a time, coat them it in the flour (shaking off any excess), then the egg mixture and finally the bread crumbs, pressing on to coat. Repeat until all the chicken is crumbed.
  4. Heat 100g Anchor™ Ghee and ½ cup of vegetable oil in a heavy bottom pan or skillet to 180℃ and shallow fry the chicken in batches, for 5-6 minutes, turning halfway thorugh. (If you don’t have a thermometer, drop some of the breadcrumbs into the oil. If they pop to the surface and start to turn golden your oil is hot enough.) Place the cooked chicken on kitchen towels to soak up any excess oil and put in a warm oven while you cook the remainder.
Potatoes
  1. Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes are tender, but not mushy.
  2. Drain and allow the steam to escape for a minute or two before mashing. If you have a food mill, then use this as it will give you an extra smooth mash. Once mashed place the Anchor™ Ghee and cream in a small pot, bring to a boil then pour into your mashed potatoes with a pinch of salt and mix until fully combined. The ghee and cream will combine to give you a rich creamy mash that goes perfectly with the perfectly fried chicken.
To serve
  1. Divide the chicken and mash evenly between 4 plates, and accompany with a simple green salad or even some pickles to balance the dish.
