Burger and Fried Chicken Night

A takeaway burger costs a fortune and arrives steamed in its own box. At home you get a crust that actually crackles, cheese melting properly, and chicken you brined yourself. You control the salt, the heat and the sauce, and it lands hot. Big flavour, low fuss, genuinely fun cooking.

Kitchen-reviewed Updated Jul 2026 Written from established cooking principles and checked for sense and safety. Not independently lab-tested.

How we chose these: Recipes built around burgers, fried and crispy chicken, and the sides and sauces that go with them: chips, slaws, buns, pickles and dips. All doable in a normal kitchen without a deep fryer.
