Doritos hint of salt is the icing on the cake for this beauty. The iconic Irish takeaway gets a makeover - the chips are gone and are replaced with Doritos Hint of Salt.

Method

  • Slice the chicken thighs and toss them with the soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Set aside. 
  • Mix the spices together and set aside.
  • For the sauce, heat the butter in a saucepan until foaming, then add the flour and curry powder. Whisk constantly until you have a paste, then gradually pour in the chicken stock and soy sauce. Add the Hot Salsa and reduce. Season with honey and sea salt. 
  • Heat the oil in a wok and fry the vegetables until softened and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, take the marinated chicken and mix through the egg white. Toss it with the cornstarch. 
  • Heat a deep fat fryer to 180°C. Fry the chicken until crispy, then add it to the vegetables along with the spice mix. 
  • Take the bag of Doritos, open it and add the salt and pepper chicken. Fold over the top to seal then give it all a big shake. Drizzle over or serve with the curry sauce.
