Sesame Chicken Nuggets - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 chicken breast fillets
100 g dried breadcrumbs, i use the stuff sold in supermarkets
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preparation
-
Cut chicken breasts into 4 cm (2in) cubes.
In a large bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, mint, paprika, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Coat chicken nuggets first in beaten egg and then in breadcrumb mixture. Put on a baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes Heat oil in a frying pan and fry nuggets for 10 mins, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.
Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper before serving.
Recipe suggests serving with tartar sauce. My kids grabbed a bottle of Heinz tomato sauce.
Tip: chilling the chicken once it is coated in breadcrumbs makes the mixture less likely to fall off during frying. (So says the recipe!).
