Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • 2 Large chicken breasts
  • 100g self raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon steenbergs organic china five spice
  • Batter
  • 200g self raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon Steenbergs organic china five spice
  • Fizzy water to combine above (approx 200ml)
  • 1 pack Panko breadcrumbs
  • Sunflower oil for deep frying
  • 1/2 tsp Steenbergs organic perfect salt

Chicken strips and nuggets are always popular but lack a little extra spice for teenager’s (or teenagers at heart like me) and we all also like to know what’s in them. Home made means less processed, less meat and more knowledge of what chicken is being used.

Therefore I have designed a “crispy” “crunchy” “succulent” “flavoursome” piece of chicken that hits all the buttons that can be tweaked with more or less china five spice powder according to personal taste

This version serves 4.
