Thank you very much to @Laura | The Cooking Queen for this delicious Spicy Mango Coronation Chicken Doorstep Sandwich recipe!
Makes 2 massive sandwiches, 4 picnic portions
You’ll need:
• 400g cooked chicken, shredded - leftover roast works best
• 4 tbsp mayo
• 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt - stops it being too rich
• 2-3 tsp mild curry powder
• 2 tbsp South Devon Chilli Farm Mango Chilli Sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1 tbsp mango chutney
• Handful sultanas, soaked 5 mins in hot water then drained
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• Tbsp of Fennel Seeds chopped
• Salt & black pepper
• Thick-cut white bloomer, 4 doorstop slices, buttered
Quick method:
1. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, stir mayo, yoghurt, curry powder, mango chilli sauce, and mango chutney. Taste it - add more chilli sauce if you want proper heat.
2. Build the filling: Fold in chicken, sultanas, spring onions, and fennel. Season well. Chill 15 mins if you’ve got time - the flavours get better.
3. Stack it: Butter your doorstop slices. Pile the coronation chicken high on two slices, add an extra drizzle of that mango chilli sauce, then top with the other slices.
4. Picnic ready: Press down lightly, wrap tightly in beeswax wrap or foil. Cut in half just before serving so it doesn’t go soggy.
