- Β½ cup flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs

- Put the flour into a small plastic bag.
- Tip he breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl.
- Put the egg into a bowl, beat lightly.
- Put the nuggets into the flour bag and shake it until the chicken pieces are completely covered with flour.
- Take them out of the bag, one-by-one, shake off any excess flour and, using a fork, dip each into the egg.
- Cover them with the egg completely, then lift them out with the fork, letting any excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Place them into the breadcrumbs and roll around until evenly covered.
- To get a deeper coat repeat the egg-breadcrumbs process ( this is optional).

Tips
You can add sweet paprika or other spices or dried herbs to the flour; garlic, mustard or chilli flakes to the egg; fresh herbs, grated Parmesan, seeds or cornflakes to the breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs can be panko (very fine) or coarse - or even blended fresh bread which creates an interesting, deep coating. Basically, just experiment - it's very difficult to get it wrong ...© 2024 Copyright CookTogether
