Chicken (or fish) Goujons with Dipping Sauce

Recipe for: CANAPES –CHICKEN (OR FISH) GOUJONS with Dipping Sauce 

Ingredients: 

·        4 chicken breast fillets (or slabs of mackerel/ cod)

·        Lemon juice

·        Olive oil

·        2 eggs, beaten with a little milk

·        Flour

·        Paprika

·        Panko breadcrumbs

·        Vegetable or corn oil for frying 

Method: 

1.      Cut the chicken or fish into thin strips

2.      Place in a bowl and mix with salt & pepper, some lemon juice & a dash of olive oil.  Refrigerate until ready to cook

3.      Assemble three bowls – one with flour, one with the eggs, one with breadcrumbs

4.      Working methodically take each chicken/ fish strip and coat in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, and lay out on a play ready to fry

5.      Heat the oil gently.  You don’t want it too hot or the strips will burn on the edge without cooking properly. When a cube of bread browns in 30 secs you’re ready

6.      Working in batches, fry the breaded strips, turning until golden all over

7.      Remove with slotted spoon onto a plate with kitchen paper to drain

8.      Serve with a suitable dip
