 These tasty homemade jumbo chicken nuggets make a great
children's meal or a snack for big kids.
Preparation Time 15 minutes
Cooking Time 8 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
plain flour, for dusting
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup extra tasty cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
salt and cracked black pepper
16 chicken tenderloins, trimmed
olive oil, for cooking
barbecue sauce, to serve
Method
Place the flour and egg in separate bowls.
Place the cheese, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in another
bowl and toss to combine well.
Working in batches, dip the chicken in the flour, then the
egg. Transfer to the breadcrumb mixture and press to coat
each tenderloin well. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Place enough oil in a non-stick frying pan to cover the
base. Heat over medium heat. Cook the chicken in two batches
for two minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve with a side of
barbecue sauce.
Notes & tips
Chicken tenderloins are cut from the second (more juicy)
muscle of the chicken breast. They are available from most
butchers and supermarket poultry counters.
