Objective: Deliver crispy, hot fries and sides every time. Use proper batch frying and portioning to meet demand without waste.

Key Items:

  • Cajun fries

  • SoBe fries (sauced)

  • Garlic/truffle fries

  • Chicken tenders

  • Wings (Buffalo, Hot Honey, Cajun BBQ)

Frying Procedure:

  1. Drop correct portion into fryer basket.

  2. Fry until golden and crispy (target internal temp: 75°C for tenders/wings).

  3. Shake off oil and season immediately.

  4. For sauced wings: toss with sauce while hot, garnish, serve.

Batch Frying:

  • During peak: fry in 2–3 basket batches

  • Hold in hot zone <2 minutes max for fries

  • Wings/tenders can be hot held up to 2 hours at ≥63°C (must be reheated to 75°C before holding)

Hygiene & Safety:

  • Clean baskets and area frequently

  • Never cross-contaminate chicken with fries
