Hot Honey Chicken & Halloumi Ranch Burger

Directions

  1. 1Season the chicken with the smoked paprika, garlic granules, salt and black pepper.
  2. 2Fry the chicken for around 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  3. 3Mix together the ranch sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. 4In a separate bowl, stir together the honey, hot sauce and chilli flakes.
  5. 5Brush a little of the hot honey over the chicken during the final minute of cooking so it becomes slightly sticky.
  6. 6Pat the halloumi slices dry with kitchen paper, then cook them in a clean hot pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden.
  7. 7During the final minute of cooking the halloumi, brush over a little more of the hot honey glaze.
  8. 8Lightly toast the brioche buns.
  9. 9To assemble the burgers, spread half of the ranch sauce over the bottom bun and the remaining ranch on the top bun.
  10. 10Add the shredded lettuce to the base, followed by the glazed chicken and the golden halloumi.
  11. 11Drizzle over the remaining hot honey glaze, sprinkle with crispy onions, then finish with the top bun.
