Method

Before you prepare the chicken for marination, it’s essential to pound it and make it ready for tenderisation. Place your chicken fillet in plastic wrap and pound it with a mallet or a skillet. Reduce the thickness to about ¼-inch.
Marinate chicken with chopped onion, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper, and mix well. Also, add in hot habanero sauce and mango chilli sauce, and leave it to marinate for 1 hour.
Remove fillet from marination, coat in flour, dip into egg and milk mixture, and then into bread crumbs pressing crumbs firmly. Heat extra oil and butter in a large frying pan, and add the chicken fillet. Cook gently on both sides until golden.
Mix mayonnaise, Thai sweet chilli sauce, vinegar and tomato ketchup to make the cocktail sauce.
Melt extra butter in a separate pan, add crushed garlic, and cook until butter turns light golden. Then add parsley, pour butter over the chicken fillet, and serve immediately with cocktail sauce and fries.
