Crispy Chilli Tortilla chicken with spicy wedges
I had a few things lying around including some of the chillis i had picked last week. So i went all masterchef mystery bag and came up with this. I’d usually use breadcrumbs to coat a chicken Kiev but we recently had some veggie burgers that were coated in crushed tortilla crisps so thought id use that idea. While i was making it i thought a splash of tequila might also be a good idea but we have ran out so i had to give it a miss…if you try it with tequila please let me know.
