ALMOST-FAMOUS CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken: Whisk the egg white, cornstarch and rice wine in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Make the stir-fry sauce: Whisk 1/3 cup water, the oyster, hoisin and soy sauces, the rice wine and sesame oil in a bowl, then whisk in the cornstarch until dissolved.
• Fry the noodles: Pull the noodles apart into sections. Heat 3/4 inch peanut oil in a medium saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer registers 380 degrees F. Working in batches, press the noodles into the oil with a spatula until they puff, 5 to 10 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Make the stir-fry: Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil to the skillet; when almost smoking, stir in the garlic, ginger, jalapeno and minced scallions, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the sugar and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, water chestnuts and scallion pieces and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the stir-fry sauce and chicken and cook 1 minute. Make a bed of noodles on a platter and top with the chicken mixture. Serve the noodles and stir-fry with lettuce leaves and soy sauce for dipping. Photograph by Andrew Mccaul

CHICKEN CAESAR WRAPS WITH CRISPY CHEESE

Steps:

• Coat the lettuce in some Dressing and reserve the remaining Dressing for serving on the side.
• To assemble a wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Pile about 1 1/2 ounces dressed lettuce on the lower third of the tortilla. Top with 3 to 4 slices chicken (more or less, as desired) then sprinkle with the Parmesan crisps. Fold the wrap over the filling, tuck in the sides and continue to roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, lettuce, chicken and Parmesan crisps.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and crisp the tortilla for a few minutes on both sides, or until golden. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
• Remove the wraps to a work surface. Cut in half on a bias and serve with additional Dressing for dipping.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic in a mixing bowl or measuring cup. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with a little water if it is too thick.
• Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the outside and in the cavity of the chicken and rub into and underneath the skin. Place on a rack over a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
• Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic and Worcestershire, then schmear the mixture all over the chicken. Roast the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F, begin checking at around 50 minutes. (If the skin gets too dark, tent with aluminum foil.) Allow to rest 30 minutes before carving. Carve the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• In a medium bowl, add the cheese and cayenne pepper. Toss to combine. Spread the cheese evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, crispy and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then break up into shards.

• Combine the yogurt, tahini and garlic in a bowl with 1 tbsp water to loosen. Mix the cumin, coriander, paprika and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the chicken on a board, cover with baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin to an even 1½cm thickness. Rub all over with the spice mix, leave for 10 mins, then fry in the oil for 12 mins, flipping after 8 mins. Transfer to a board, rest briefly, then slice.
• Warm the wraps in a dry frying pan, then fill with the tomatoes, aubergine and onion mix, avocado, chicken and tahini dressing.

Steps:

• Mix together the mayonnaise, cucumber, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chicken breast strips until they are beginning to turn golden and are no longer pink in the middle, about 8 minutes. Stir in the salsa, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have blended, about 5 minutes.
• Stack the tortillas, 4 at a time, in a microwave oven and heat until warm and pliable, 20 to 30 seconds per batch.
• Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise-cucumber mixture, top with a layer of baby spinach leaves, and arrange about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture on the spinach leaves.
• Fold the bottom of each tortilla up about 2 inches, and start rolling the burrito from the right side. When the burrito is half-rolled, fold the top of the tortilla down, enclosing the filling, and continue rolling to make a tight, compact cylinder.

CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Place the garlic, orange juice, soy sauce, honey and chile powder into a bowl and mix well. Adjust seasonings, adding more chile powder if you wish.
• Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and place into a plastic zip-loc bag. Pour the honey mixture over the thighs and turn them to coat well. Close the bag and marinate the thighs in the fridge for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°. Place the thighs, with the marinade, into a shallow roasting pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through and basting with the glaze, until the chicken is tender and slightly blackened on the edges.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and leave to cool. Cut the chicken into strips and set aside.
• Lay a tortilla on a clean work surface. Add 1 T. of mayo into the center and spread out a little. Add iceberg lettuce (to taste) and top with several strips of chicken. Fold the tortilla up over the filling, fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll up all the way. Wrap in saran wrap or waxed paper to secure rolls. Repeat to make 8 rolls.
