Crispy Chilli Chicken Sandwich

Crispy Chilli Chicken Sandwich

We created this recipe after buying some crispy chilli in oil from one of our local Asian Supermarkets, a few years ago now. We ate this dish on repeat once we first tasted it and then as we all do, we move on to the next favourite.

Feeling uninspired and struggling to decide what we wanted to eat after a very busy long weekend hosting great friends, we wanted something quick with minimal effort but tasty.  We looked in the fridge.  We had chicken breasts and an avocado that needed eating and the crispy chilli oil was at eye height in the fridge.  It had been a while so back to one of our all time favourites.
