A note from Nico
The Chicken Spice Bag might just be one of the greatest culinary culture clashes ever — the love child of the Italian chipper and the Chinese takeaway, and yet somehow unmistakeably Irish. Juicy chicken, peppers and onions with chilli and Chinese five spice on a bed of proper chipper chips: it really shouldn't work, and yet. The only way to improve on perfection? Cook it over fire — everything gets a bit of char and grill smoke running through it. Traditionally it'd all go into a brown bag, but I think we can do better than that.
