Ingredients

  • 500 grams (1 lb) of chicken breast
  • 120 grams (1 cups) of breadcrumbs, panko or regular
  • 60 grams (½ cups) of plain/all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Cut the chicken breast into finger-width strips.
  • In one bowl, mix the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • In a second bowl, beat the eggs.
  • In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each strip of chicken first in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally, roll in the breadcrumbs.
  • Place the breaded chicken strips onto the lined baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil for extra crispness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked through.

Air Fryer Instructions:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
  • Arrange the breaded chicken strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
  • Air fry for about 12 minutes, or until the goujons are golden and crispy. No need to turn them during cooking.

Notes

Helpful Notes:
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked through. The safest way to check is by using a meat thermometer – the internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
  • For an extra flavour boost, consider marinating your chicken in a blend of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before coating.
  • Serve these delicious chicken goujons with your favourite homemade dips like honey mustard, BBQ sauce, garlic aioli, or sweet chilli sauce.
