Chicken Goujons Ingredients Notes
- Chicken breast – These should be skinless and boneless. Cut them into strips with a sharp knife or scissors.
- Plain flour – This is to coat the chicken with.
- Paprika – Stir this into the flour for slightly flavouring. You can substitute this for smoked paprika, chilli flakes, a reduced amount of cayenne pepper, or anything similar to give the chicken tenders a little kick and colour.
- Eggs – I use a medium, free range beaten eggs to helps the coating stick to the chicken strips.
- Breadcrumbs – I use ready made breadcrumbs, but you can use homemade too. Panko breadcrumbs are bigger and crispier than regular ones, but go for whichever you prefer.
- Oil – This is to grease the baking sheet with.
How to make Chicken Goujons
1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips around 2 – 3cm wide.
2. Dip each piece into flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. OR use my shortcut of putting the goujons into a Tupperware tub and shake to coat, one ingredient at a time.
3. Put the coated chicken goujons onto a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven. See timings in the full recipe below.
4. When golden and crispy, serve with your favourite sides.
