00:00Hi I'm Tom from Honest Burgers, I'm one of the co-founders and today I'm going to

00:04talk you through our chicken burger. It's one of the kind of lighter burgers on

00:07our menu. We've always used free-range chicken at Honest, we think that's really

00:11important that we support highest welfare chicken, so we've got a nice free-range

00:17chicken breast, grilled, some tomato, some lettuce, mustard mayonnaise, our standard

00:25glazed bun and some homemade rosemary salted chips. What we've done to the

00:32chicken breast is we have brined it, so brining is used an awful lot in loads of

00:38different types of cooking. It's used a lot in poultry because it adds depth of

00:43flavour, adds more moisture to what can be quite dry, especially if you overcook it,

00:48you know, chicken get really dry. So what we do with this is we mix it with water,

00:54sugar and salt. So it is 500ml of water with four tablespoons of sugar and 70

01:02grams of salt. We then dissolve that in the pan, wait till the sugar and the salt

01:10is fully dissolved. I'm just going to drop this into pan now and then take it off

01:18the heat and then you add three litres of water, cold water, so you do that so you

01:22don't have to wait for three and a half litres of water to cool down. You're just

01:25mixing it in with a little bit of water and then mixing in the rest of water so

01:29you've got a nice cold brine. You never ever put meat into a warm brine, okay. It's a

01:34really easy way for it to go off basically. So the sauce that we put in our

01:39chicken burger is mustard mayonnaise. So we use Heinz mayo with a load of black

01:46pepper so like cracked black pepper and some Dijon mustard and a little bit of

01:52lemon juice and it's just you know nice rich kind of nice sort of flavour to go

01:57with the chicken. So like all the meat in Honest burgers we cook on a flat top so

02:02this is the equivalent of that, you know, nice cast iron pan. You want to get it sort

02:07of hot to begin with, drop the chicken in, lower it down a little bit and we're

02:11looking for 72 degrees minimum with chicken. Going to take about three or

02:17four minutes each side and we want to get a nice bit of kind of caramelisation on

02:22both sides as well all right but there's no need to season this

02:25chicken because we've got all the seasoning and all the flavours have

02:28already gone into that brine. So chicken's had about three minutes just

02:32going to give it a little flip, got a nice bit of colour on there. Make sure it

02:37doesn't get stuck to the pan. Now we're going to get the burger made so go with

02:44our mustard mayo on the base then nice bit of green, some shredded lettuce and

02:53little gem and then nice slice of beef tomato as well. So yes had about six

03:02seven minutes in here, the chicken breast is nice and cooked. Going to just take a

03:07little bit more of the mustard mayo, stick that on top and then take our chips.

03:17So homemade chips, the only way in our eyes but if you don't have time, you can't get a

03:24white potato, if you want to buy some shop bought ones, you can elevate them by

03:29putting rosemary salt on. So we've been making rosemary salt from scratch since day one.

03:36It's really really simple, you just need a bit of time. It's lemon zest, rosemary and

03:41mould and sea salt is what we use. It's put it into a pestle of mortar and basically just

03:47smash it up, give it as much time as you've got and you get such an amazing flavour even on a

03:52frozen chip. Although it's not something we would ever sell at Honest, it still makes it taste much,

03:59much better. So this is our free-range grilled chicken breast with mustard mayo and homemade rosemary

04:06salted chips.
