Hot Honey Crunch Chicken Burger – I now completely understand the hot honey rage…

Although, my version isn’t spicy and even gives you the option to leave the chilli out completely, if that’s not your family’s vibe! We love a Friday “Fakeaway” night at our place. Cheaper, more delicious and healthier. You can make the chicken in the air fryer, oven or pan – it’s ridiculously crispy and easy to make!

Find the recipe on my website (link in bio), including make-ahead and leftovers instructions — or comment RECIPE and I’ll send you the link!

Portuguese Chicken and Crispy Oven Fries

This feels like a Saturday night dinner… but it’s easy enough for a Monday. The chicken is juicy and flavour-packed, roasted with a quick pantry marinade. The fries are oven-baked but still crispy, thanks to a quick parboil and a cheeky flour toss. I cook them on separate trays – both in the oven at the same time – so dinner kind of makes itself.

No deep fryer. No fancy ingredients. Just good, simple food that delivers every time.
And the homemade chicken salt? You’ll want to put it on everything.

Garlic dip on the side is optional… but highly recommended. Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you the link! Or find it on my website – link in bio.

Pork and Cabbage Dumplings

Making dumplings at home sounds hard… until you try it. These are juicy, freezer-friendly, and cheaper than buying a tray of frozen ones.

My kids love them. I love them. And my freezer is now smugly full.
