Paleo Chicken Goujons

Ingredients:

  • 2 skinless chicken breasts (or 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs)
  • 1 egg
  • 50g Sukrin sesame flour (or use ground almonds)
  • Optional: 50g sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika or smoked paprika
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Duck or goose fat for frying

Method:

  1. Cut the chicken breasts/thighs into strips each about the size of a big finger, to give goujon shapes. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Mix the sesame flour, sesame seeds, cumin and paprika in another bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
  2. Working in batches to ensure they don’t stick together, dip the chicken pieces in the egg and then in the sesame flour mixture to coat. Shake off any excess flour.
  3. In a large frying pan heat the duck or goose fat and fry the goujons for 3-4 minutes per side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through. Check they are cooked through by cutting in to one; there should not be any pink meat. Drain well on kitchen paper.
