The spicy CBO Sandwich
It used to be on the menu at McDonald’s: crispy chicken, bacon, cheese and that unmistakable sauce. The CBO may be gone, but it deserved better. So we’ve brought it back in sandwich form, with a Heatsupply twist. Tender chicken, crispy bacon and a proper kick from Lamiri Harissa. Were you a CBO fan too? Then you’ve got to try this crispy, spicy version!
Ingredients
- 4 slices of (sourdough) bread
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for frying the onion
- 2 tbsp harissa, plus extra for spreading on the bread
- 2 chicken legs
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 green chilli
- 4 slices of cheddar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Make the marinade by mixing the olive oil with the harissa.
- Pat the chicken legs dry and coat them in the harissa marinade.
- Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and place the chicken legs on top. Roast for 40 minutes, adding the bacon for the final 10 minutes so it crisps up.
- Slice the onion into half rings and fry in a pan with a little olive oil.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.
- Spread the mayonnaise over the bread and add a little extra harissa.
- Layer the green chilli, bacon, chicken, onion and cheddar onto two slices of bread, then top with the remaining slices.
- Place the sandwiches in a hot pan to toast the bread and melt the cheese. Flip them halfway through so both sides turn golden brown.
- That’s it! Enjoy your spicy, tender, crispy CBO.
For a tangy finish, add a few pickles, such as the Bread & Butter Pickles from Roots Radicals.
