  • 4-6 iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • For deep-frying: vegetable oil
  • 500 gm frozen shoestring fries
Chilli sauce

    Heat a char-grill pan over medium-high heat, drizzle chicken with oil, season to taste, and grill, turning once, until cooked through (4-5 minutes each side), then squeeze lime over. Grill buns cut-side down (30 seconds), spread bases with half the mayonnaise, then chilli sauce to taste, top with lettuce, chicken and tomato, spread bun tops with remaining mayonnaise and place on top of burgers.
