200mL chicken stock
Fresh coriander, for garnish
1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions
- Prepare the Hand-Cut Chips:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Slice the potatoes into thick wedges or slices, ensuring they’re evenly cut.
Toss the potato slices with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make sure the slices are in a single layer.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
For extra crunch, increase the oven temperature to 220°C (430°F) for the last 5 minutes of baking.

Absolutely! Swap the chicken for tofu or chickpeas, and follow the same method for making the satay sauce and assembling the wraps.
