Golden fries, crispy chicken, and a rich homemade Chinese curry sauce come together in this epic crispy chicken curry loaded fries recipe - perfect for fakeaway nights in or snacking when watching your favourite sports!
In coming up with this recipe, I was inspired by a dish that my stepdad had for lunch when we were at the local golf club. The curry sauce in his dish was more like an Indian curry, but I decided I would make a Chinese curry sauce instead.
We love it and hope you enjoy making and eating it too!

- 400g frozen crispy skin-on fries (see Tips)
- 2 spring onions, sliced, to garnish
Curry Sauce:
- 1 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil
- 1 onion (approx. 150g), sliced
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
- 4 tsp medium curry powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt

To serve (optional):
- crispy chilli in oil

Instructions
- Cook the chicken and fries either in the oven or air fryer, according to packet instructions. In the oven, fries are normally cooked at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for 15 to 18 minutes, and in the air fryer at 180C for 10 to 15 minutes. In the oven, chicken bites are normally cooked at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 16 minutes, and in the air fryer at 160C for 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the chicken and fries are cooking, make the curry sauce (or make ahead and reheat on the hob) - heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Next, add the curry powder, turmeric, sugar and salt and stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the stock, stirring constantly to combine with the vegetables and seasonings.
- In a small bowl combine the cornflour with the light soy and cold water and stir until the cornflour is dissolved. Stir the cornflour slurry into the curry mixture and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the peas and cook for 2 minutes. Check the seasoning and add more, to taste, if required.
- To assemble, share the fries between 2 bowls, top with the chicken, pour over the curry sauce and garnish with spring onions.
