1. 1

   For the bread, place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well with your hands to form a soft dough, then tip out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until the dough is very elastic. (Alternatively place into a kitchen mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix until soft and elastic.)

2. 2

   Place into a bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to rise for one hour.

3. 3

   Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave to rest on the work surface for five minutes.

4. 4

   Roll the dough up into a cylinder and place into the tin, seam side down, tucking the ends underneath.

5. 5

   Set aside in a warm place, covered with a clean tea towel, to rise for 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Place the tin in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes until golden-brown.

7. 7

   Remove and cool in the tin for 10 minutes before tipping out and allowing to cool to room temperature.

8. 8

   Place the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, cayenne, garlic salt, thyme, oregano, pepper and sea salt flakes into a large bowl and mix until well combined.

9. 9

   Carefully lower a few pieces of chicken into the fat fryer and fry until golden brown and crisp – about 5-10 minutes – turning several times, so all parts will have been submerged in the oil.

10. 10

    Transfer to a baking tray and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until completely cooked through.

11. 11

    For the garlic butter and potatoes, heat a little of the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan.

12. 12

    Add the sliced potatoes and fry over a medium heat until softened and golden brown.

13. 13

    Remove the potatoes with a fish slice and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.

14. 14

    Add the garlic to the pan and fry gently for a couple of minutes.

15. 15

    Then add the rest of the butter and heat until melted.

16. 16

    Stir in the flat leaf parsley and season well with salt and black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.

17. 17

    Place a couple of drumsticks onto each serving plate, pile some fried potato alongside then drizzle the garlic butter over the top.

18. 18

    Serve with a chunk of bread.
