Before you start
Lightly coating the chicken in polenta gives it a wonderful crisp finish without having to fry it in lots of oil. Easier and healthier!
These crispy chicken strips work a treat in the air fryer. Simply cook at 200ºC for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness, flipping halfway.
The jalapeño jam will last in the fridge for weeks and is incredibly moreish. If you want to make up a whole jar, weigh out the pickles, then add an equal weight of sugar followed by the same weight of brine, then simmer in a medium pan until you have the right consistency. It will thicken as it cools, so keep it on the looser side.
