Chicken Goujons

I have made quite a few batches of breaded chicken nuggets. However, I have really struggled to find a batter for chicken that works really well for frying.

This is the recipes I used for five chicken breasts. Alter the ingredients accordingly for however many chicken goujons you would like to make J You can use either soy or oyster sauce if you don't have both. I always check a goujon from each batch to ensure that they are cooked properly.

 

Ingredients:

5 Chicken breasts cut into strips

5 egg yolks

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp oyster sauce

Half a cup of corn flour

A cup of water

Salt and pepper to taste

Enough oil to deep fry (preferably vegetable/sunflower oil)

 

Equipment:

1 large bowl

1 large pan for frying

Kitchen roll or grease absorbent paper

1 metal flat utensil

 

Method:

1. Mix the egg yolks, soy and oyster sauce together. Add a couple of tsp's of water to the mix and begin to mix in the cornflour. Add water whenever you feel necessary. Mix well until the paste is thick but slightly runny.
   
2. Season well.
   
3. Add the chicken to the bowl and leave for ten minutes.
   
4. Heat up the oil in the pan.
   
5. Add the chicken strips in batches. Cook until golden brown (the first batch will take longer than the rest!
