Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle on half the mixed herbs, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the mayo, Dijon mustard (see ingredients for amount, add less if you'd prefer) and half the hard Italian style cheese. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces. Pop them into the dressing bowl along with the rocket but don't toss together as yet - you'll do that just before serving. Set aside for now.
Halve the burger buns and set aside.
Lay the chicken thighs flat onto one side of a large baking tray. Sprinkle on the remaining mixed herbs and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Slide the chicken onto the middle shelf of your oven and roast for 5 mins (you'll cook it fully in the next step).
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the garlic, breadcrumbs, ketchup, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for amounts), then add the beef mince. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.
Roll the mince into even-sized balls, then shape into 1cm thick burgers, 1 per person. TIP: The burgers will shrink a little during cooking.
Once the chicken has been cooking for 5 mins, add the burgers and bacon rashers to the other side of the same baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Return to the oven to bake until everything's cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The burgers and chicken are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Once the burgers, bacon and chicken are cooked, remove the tray from the oven. Transfer the chicken and bacon to a clean board.
Next, carefully place the remaining cheese on top of the burgers. Add the burger buns to the tray next to the burgers. Pop back into the oven until the cheese has melted and the buns are warmed through, 2-3 mins.
Meanwhile, drizzle the honey (see pantry for amount) over the chicken, then cut widthways into 2cm thick slices.
Chop half the bacon rashers widthways into 1cm wide strips for the salad (use scissors if easier). Leave the remaining rashers whole for the burgers.
When everything's ready, transfer the bun bases to your plates. Top with the cheeseburgers, then the whole bacon rashers. Spread the burger sauce over the bun lids and sandwich shut.
Add the chopped bacon pieces to the baby gem bowl and toss together so everything's nicely coated in the dressing. Top with the sliced chicken thighs.
Serve the burgers with the chips and salad alongside.
Enjoy!
