My kids sometimes ask me for foods such as chicken nuggets that I just am not comfortable buying ready made in the supermarket. In order to side-step this problem, we came up with a way of making our own Homemade Chicken Goujons which is really quick and so easy they can practically do it themselves. And it also means that I am happy because I know exactly what they are eating 🙂 These are super easy party food too!

Ingredients
- I generally allow about half a chicken fillet per child, full fillet for each adult – we use free range chicken fillets.
- A plate of plain flour (approx 150g – use more if needed) seasoned a little with salt and pepper
- A bowl containing lightly beaten egg, I find one egg will coat 2 fillets cut up into pieces
- A plate of breadcrumbs (approx 150g – again, use more if you need to)
Method
-
Cut the chicken fillets into pieces/strips
-
Roll each piece in the flour, dust off any excess
-
Dip the floured piece into the beaten egg
-
Finally, coat the chicken piece in breadcrumbs and set aside until ready to cook
-
Repeat until all the chicken pieces have been floured, egged and breadcrumbed!!!
-
To cook, we deep-fried them at 170oC for about 10 mins but next time I will oven cook them and let you know how we get on:-)
If you try this and like the recipe, you could prepare a large batch of goujons and freeze them and then use as required.
Why not try the same approach with fresh fish pieces?
