2. Fry the spring onions in the butter, then mix in the potato and ham. After this, spoon the mix onto the skins. Top all of this with the cheese, and grill for five minutes.
3. Heat a deep fat fryer to 170c
4. Pop the chicken into the buttermilk, cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. Mix all the spices with the flour, and then dip the chicken into this. Then add the spices into the flour, mix it all and whilst making sure it covers the chicken. Once it’s properly covered, deep fry the chicken in batches for 5 to 6 minutes, and drain them all once removed.
6. To make the sauce, put all the ingredients into a non-stick pan, bring to the boil, and then simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
7. To serve, pile the chicken onto a platter spoon over some of the sauce, pop the rest into a dipping dish, sprinkle over the herbs and onions, and serve the potato skins alongside.
