Method

Spicy tomato relish

  1. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling salted water for 10 seconds. Refresh with icy water. Once cold, remove the skins, seeds and cut the flesh into a rough dice.
  2. In a small saucepan add the tomatoes, roasted capsicum, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, salt and black pepper.
  3. Over a medium heat cook until a jammy consistency is reached. Then add the olive oil and Tabasco sauce.

Chicken

  1. Place the chicken strips into a bowl and season with the Louisiana spice mix and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour in the buttermilk, mix well and leave to marinate for 2 hours.
  3. In a medium size bowl mix together the flour, parsley, salt and pepper, add the chicken a few pieces at a time, and liberally coat with the seasoned flour. Continue processing the balance of the chicken in this way.
  4. Deep-fry the chicken pieces at 1500C in neutral flavored oil, such as grape seed or vegetable. Drain onto kitchen paper, and then place into a warm oven to keep warm whilst the remaining chicken is frying.
  5. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve accompanied with the tomato relish
