8 Fast Food Favourites That Are Super-Easy To Make At Home

Classic cheeseburgers

With soft, pillowy buns, juicy beef patties and layers of melting cheese, these homemade cheeseburgers are hard to beat. First, buy minced beef with at least 20% fat content, so the meat is juicy and doesn't dry out.

French fries

These fries are so easy to make – and you won't need a deep-fat fryer, either. For four people, allow around 3lb (1.25kg) of large potatoes.

Onion rings

To make these irresistible breadcrumbed onion rings, you'll need large, sweet onions – simply slice them up and separate into rings.

Chicken nuggets

Cut chicken breast fillets into chunks, then flour, egg and crumb them, laying them out on a lined baking sheet. Now you can either air-fry them at 350ºF (180ºC) for 12 minutes, turning halfway.

Crispy chicken burgers

You don't need to resort to deep-frying to make a fabulous chicken burger; our version is cooked in the oven, but it's still just as crisp on the outside and tender in the middle.

Chicken shish kebabs

This is a great dish to cook on a barbecue, as the coals add a lovely smokiness to the meat. Before you fire up the grill, though, you'll need to marinate the chicken in buttermilk, spices, garlic and lemon overnight, for super-succulent results.

Breakfast hash tacos

Here, corn tortillas are stuffed with chunks of fried vegan sausages, mushrooms, garlicky fajita-spiced potatoes and spinach, then topped with pickled onions, hot sauce and lime.

Loaded breakfast burritos

This Mexican-inspired burrito – stuffed with chorizo sausage, sweetcorn, herby scrambled eggs and avocado – is sure to get your energy levels up.
