WONDERFUL WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Potato on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry until crispy, 25-30 minutes.
SPICE THINGS UP
Place the Chicken into a bowl and toss with ½ the spice mix, a drizzle of oil, the garlic, the ginger, and seasoning. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the remaining spice mix with the smoked paprika and seasoning. Set aside.
CREAMY SLAW
In a separate bowl, combine the Cabbage, the Cucumber, the raisins, a drizzle of oil, seasoning, and ½ the mayo. Set aside.
DIP, FRY & FLAVOUR
Prepare a shallow dish containing the flour, seasoned lightly. Prepare a second dish containing the Buttermilk. Place a pot over medium-high heat with 4-5cm of oil. When the oil is hot, carefully dip the chicken into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then lightly coat in the flour, and then carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes (turning halfway). Place into a bowl, while still hot, and toss with the reserved paprika spice until coated. Set aside.
