  • Before you start, preheat oven to 230°C (or 210°C fan bake).

  • Pat chicken dry and toss in a large bowl with yoghurt and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, smoky spices and salt. Keep some flour plain for fussy little foodies.
  • Prep lettuce, cucumber and tomato and set aside to serve.
  • Shake excess yoghurt from chicken, place into flour mixture and toss to coat. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium heat. Cook chicken (in batches) for about 6 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through. Wipe pan clean and add more oil between batches, if needed. Rest on a paper towel, before slicing thickly.
  • Prep buns, place on an oven tray and bake on lower oven rack for about 5 minutes, until warmed through.
  • Serve buns filled with chicken, salad and burger sauce. Serve chips on the side with extra burger sauce.
