Ingredients

  • 500g chicken breast, thigh or tenderloin

  • 2 cups plain flour

  • 2 eggs

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 2 cups breadcrumbs

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

Method

  • Preheat the oven to about 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Cut the chicken into your preferred size pieces, cover them with kitchen paper and then tenderise (bang them!) with a rolling pin or your fist, aiming to make then the same thickness all over.
  • Place the flour and breadcrumbs each onto a separate plate and whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl.
  • Take each piece of chicken and cover it with flour, then the egg mix and finally, the breadcrumbs. Lay each finished piece onto a plate.
  • Heat the oil in a large fry pan on medium/high heat. Cook a few pieces of chicken at a time (allowing some room between them) for a few minutes each side. You are aiming for them to be golden brown but they don’t need to be cooked through.
  • Transfer to the baking tray and once all the chicken is done, place into the oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
