Succulent and juicy baked crispy chicken goujons. Tender pieces of chicken breast coated in panko and baked until they're nice and crispy. A fantastic lighter way to make crispy chicken strips that adults and kids will love!
1large bunch of flat leaf-parsleychopped very finely
¼tspsalt
¼tsppepper
¼tspdried oregano
2tbsplemon juice
1tspred wine vinegar
1red chillifinely chopped (I use fresno chillies for medium heat) - discard the seeds for less heat
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan).
Place the whisked egg in one bowl, the flour, salt, and pepper in a second bowl and mix.
2 eggs, good pinch salt and pepper, 3/4 cup (90g) plain (all-purpose) flour
Place the breadcrumbs, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a third bowl and mix well (the oil should coat the breadcrumbs, but the mixture shouldn’t stick together).
3 cups (150g) panko breadcrumbs, 1 tsp paprika, 2 tbsp olive oil, good pinch salt and pepper
Dip the chicken strips into the flour, then coat in the egg and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Place on a couple of baking sheets. Try to ensure they’re not too close together, otherwise, they won’t go crispy.
3 large chicken breasts
Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes until golden brown.
When the chicken comes out of the oven, cut one of the tenders in half to ensure it’s cooked through. It should be hot throughout with no trace of pink.
Serve with your favourite sauce!
6 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1 large bunch of flat leaf-parsley, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, ¼ tsp dried oregano, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 1 red chilli

Notes
Potato Wedges (Serving suggestion for Chicken Tenders):
I find this recipe goes well with potato wedges.
For four people, slice 3 large potatoes into wedges, place on a baking sheet, then drizzle with 2 tbsp oil, ½ a tsp of paprika, ¼ tsp cumin and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix it all up with your hand so the potato wedges are covered in the oil, then cook for 25-30 minutes at 200C/400F, turning over once or twice during cooking. If you get the potato wedges in the oven first, you can be preparing the chicken whilst the potatoes are cooking. Then add the chicken to the oven with the potatoes so they all finish at the same time.
