Crispy, flavourful chicken, paired with a perfectly fried egg, come together in this deliciously satisfying twist on a classic breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients:

  • 4 Southern Fried crumbed chicken thighs
  • 4 English muffins, halved
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) butter
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices cheese
  • 40g lettuce, shredded
  • 1 tomato, sliced

Method:

  1. Bake the chicken thighs in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes. Once cooked and cool enough to touch, debone the chicken. The bones should remove easily once the chicken is fully cooked.
  2. Toast the English muffins.
  3. Fry the eggs in a pan with oil to your liking, topping with cheese just before removing from the pan.
  4. To assemble the muffins, butter one side of each muffin half, then top with lettuce, tomato, the cheesy egg, and the deboned crumbed chicken thigh.
