Yum! This looks delicious. Most recipes for crispy pork belly require a salt skin, so I'm excited that yours doesn't!

Yes, you need to have enough to deep fry the chicken. Thanks Cathriona! :)

Hi how much oil do you fry the chicken in? Is it a deep fry? Love your recipes :)

Oh my! This is the best dish EVER! Decided on a whim to try these pot pies for dinner. Such a huge hit with my husband. He began commenting on how delicious it smelled while I was stewing the beef mixture. Then he took his first bite of the pie. This recipe will be on my "frequent flyer" recipe list! Thank you for sharing.

Sarah, was your oven set at °f or °c? My recipe calls for 160°c which is considerably warmer than the same setting fahrenheit. 160°C = 320°F.

I didn't boil my potatoes first. I find it strange that the potatoes (if cut into chunks) didn't cook in an hour. You could of course parboil them first if you'd prefer.

In the recipe it does call for smoked paprika but you could substitute with sweet or hot paprika if you'd prefer.

You could leave the avos out completely, they're just there for a bit of creaminess. You could make a simple salsa of tomato, onion and chilli if you'd prefer.

Julia, whipping cream or heavy cream would both work well in this.

It could be that too ripe bananas result in a mushy texture. Glad you got them sorted though. :)
