Baked crunchy chicken nuggets ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- 100g plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups of Kellogg’s Cornflakes
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
Method
- Prepare a large baking tray with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
- With a food processor or rolling pin, crush the Cornflakes a little with a quick blitz. The finer the crumb, the better they will stick to your chicken.
- In two medium size zip lock bags, place the Cornflakes in one and the flour in the other. Season the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Tip the chicken into the flour bag and seal. Give it a good shake to make sure all pieces are covered in flour.
- Shaking off the excess flour, dip the chicken into the beaten egg bowl before dumping in the Cornflakes bag.
- Seal the Cornflakes bag and give it a really good shake, making sure all pieces are covered in Cornflakes crumbs and no egg is visible.
- Place the nuggets on the prepared tray and lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through, turning the chicken half way through.
Notes
- This recipe will serve four children, served with salad or vegetables – just don’t forget the sauce for dipping!
