Crunchy chicken fingers

For a simple but satisfying snack, these cornflake-coated fingers are far easier to prepare than a classic crumbed piece of chicken! Dipping into a mixture of yoghurt and mayonnaise before coating with crisp cornflakes gives the chicken extra flavour and a juicy texture and baking in the oven means no messy frying clean up. This recipe comes from Sean Skeels and Marley Whatarau.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cornflakes
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper
  • ¾ cup natural yoghurt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 800 g free-range chicken tenderloins
  • Lettuce leaves, sweet and sour sauce, BBQ sauce, honey mustard sauce, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan-forced (200˚C non-fan-forced). Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Place the cornflakes into a plastic ziplock bag, seal the bag, then use a rolling pin to crush the cornflakes to coarse crumbs. Pour the crushed cornflakes into a shallow bowl, then add the parmesan, parsley and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Combine the yoghurt, mayonnaise and mustard in a second shallow bowl and mix well to combine. Coat the chicken tenderloins in the yoghurt mixture, then press into the cornflake mixture on all sides to coat evenly. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking tray, then repeat until all the chicken has been crumbed.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is crunchy and cooked through. Remove to a large serving plate with a few lettuce leaves and dipping sauces of your choice and serve.
