Steps
- Place the cut chicken into a bowl with the yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside to tenderise in the fridge, at least half an hour.
- Whilst you are waiting for this, start making the dips. BBQ sauce- place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil and then turn to a simmer for about 15 minutes, until thick and glossy.
- Loosen with a bit of water if needed. Leave to cool and thicken slightly. Cool avocado dip- place the avo into a food processor and blitz for a minute until smooth. Break in the cucumber and the mint leaves and blitz again.
- Loosen with a squeeze of lemon, the yoghurt and season to taste. Give it one final whiz to check every-thing is well mixed.
- Garlic mayo- beat the garlic with the egg yolks, beat through the mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Slowly pour in the oil beating continuously until the oil is well mixed in and the mayo has lightened in colour. Squeeze in the lemon juice.
- Sweet and sour sauce- add the pineapple juice to the pan with the sugar in a small pan on a medium heat.
- Once all dissolved, add in all the other ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes until thick. Leave to cool completely before serving.
- Whilst the sauces are simmering, remove the chicken from the fridge. Heat the oil to 180 and then deep fry for the chicken for about 6-8 mins, until golden and cooked through. Place on kitchen roll and
- then serve with one or all the dips!
