SERVES: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pack Rangitikei Buttermilk Chicken Tenders
  • ½ cup yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup fresh herbs

For the fitters:

  • 4 courgettes, grated
  • 200g block haloumi, grated or finely diced
  • 1 cup peas
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • ¾ cup self-raising flour
  • ½ cup fresh herbs, chopped – we used dill, mint & parsley

Method

Cook the Buttermilk Chicken Tenders in the oven or air fryer as per packet instructions.

While the chicken is cooking, place the grated courgette in a clean cloth and squeeze out any excess liquid. Place courgette in a large mixing bowl and add the haloumi, peas, eggs, flour and herbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.

Heat enough olive oil in a large frypan over medium heat to shallow fry your fritters.

Working in batches, spoon ¼ cups of the fritter mixture into the pan. Press down lightly with a spatula and let cook for 3 –4 minutes each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while repeating the steps with the remaining mixture.

To make your sauce, whisk together the yoghurt, lemon juice and chopped herbs and season with salt & pepper.

Serve the Buttermilk Chicken Tenders stacked with the fritters and a drizzle of yoghurt dressing.
