@spicyfusionkitchen Sloppy Joe Loaded Fries 🤤 One of those recipes that comes together so quickly, it's perfect to use up leftover mince in or if you want a light meal during summer. Traditionally, Sloppy Joe is served in a burger bun and yes it gets messy. The base of the Sloppy Joe recipe can be used the classic way. Also, I like my food a bit spicy, so I did adapt the flavours to my taste buds. @McCain UK @McCain South Africa @Robertsons Herbs & Spices @All Gold South Africa @Steers SA @Rhodes Quality @Lancewood.co.za #sloppyjoe #loadedfries #food #easyrecipe #foodtiktok ♬ Summer Vibes - GRLN

 

 

"Me 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Hot Honey - locked in for life."

 

 

 

Lately, I’ve developed a full-blown obsession with Hot Honey, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It all started after I made my Nashville Hot Honey Mozzarella Sticks (click here for the recipe), and since then I’ve been dreaming up new ways to use that sweet-heat combo. These Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Burgers were the natural next step, delivering crispy chicken, sticky glaze and serious flavour in every bite.

 

One element that really brings balance to these burgers is the dressing. Any light, creamy dressing works well, but I genuinely think Homemade Ranch Dressing is the perfect match here. I’ve shared this recipe before (click here for the recipe), and it adds that cool, herby contrast that ties all the flavours together beautifully without overpowering the burger. 

 

Now, let’s talk Slaw, because texture matters. You can use a ready-made slaw mix if you’re short on time, but I kept it simple by using what I had in the fridge, by finely shredding lettuce, cabbage and carrots. Tossed with a quick slaw dressing (healthy recipe coming soon), it added the perfect crisp bite to the burgers.

 

I’ll be honest, I was really unwell when I made these, and I genuinely think I may have had a new strain of Covid at the time. Even so, I still needed to shoot this half prepped recipe, which was a challenge. Cooking, plating and shooting through it was one thing, but editing the content afterwards was quite an interesting, seeing how unwell me did what she had to do.

 

Now, because I was feeling so rough the day I actually made this, I was knocked out right after cleaning up, I didn't even taste it. My mum ended up freezing the remaining unfried chicken and sauce, while storing the homemade ranch dressing and slaw in airtight containers in the fridge. Some days later, we got to enjoy these burgers and they were delicious. It really highlighted how well this recipe can be prepped in advance.

  "This frittata was truly egg-cellent"

 

 

Bold Spices. Creamy Sauce. Smoky Finish. 

This Viral Dubai-style Iffa Chicken ticks every box. 🔥 

I came across this Viral Dubai-style Iffa Chicken on my explore page, and I couldn't resist adding my own twist to it and giving it a try. It was so delicious, that I immediately moved it up my posting schedule. 

 

This recipe draws inspiration from South Asian and Middle Eastern flavours, combining a spiced yoghurt-marinated chicken base with a rich, creamy topping and a signature charcoal smoke finish. The traditional smoking method gives it that unmistakable restaurant-style aroma without needing an outdoor grill. It's comfort food with flair.

 

Now let's talk about the Creamy White Sauce, because I know the boiled egg ingredient might raise an eyebrow. As someone who isn't fond of boiled eggs, I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce blends into a smooth, luscious topping with no noticeable eggy smell or taste whatsoever. Instead, it adds body and richness, creating a beautifully balanced finish that ties the entire dish together.

 

This viral chicken recipe genuinely lives up to expectations, and is absolutely worth trying. With simple ingredients you have in the kitchen, it's easy to prep and cook. Can be served with roti, naan or rice.
