Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 600 grams (21.16 ounces) chicken breast
Coating Ingredients:
- 50 grams (1.76 ounces) plain flour
- 100 grams (3.53 ounces) breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Liquid and Seasoning:
- 2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- Oil for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 200℃ for fan ovens or 220℃ for conventional ovens.
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Transform chicken breasts into elegant finger-shaped strips, aiming for a uniform width of 2-3cm.
- Create a seasoned coating mixture by blending flour with paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Develop a three-stage coating technique: first, delicately dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Submerge the floured strips into beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off for an even layer.
- Generously roll the egg-coated strips in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to achieve a crisp, consistent exterior.
- For an alternative method, utilize a sealed container to coat strips: add flour mixture and shake, then introduce egg and shake again, finishing with breadcrumbs for a quick, even coating.
- Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between pieces.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes, carefully flipping the goujons midway to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration.
- For smaller strips, perform an early doneness check around 15 minutes to prevent potential dryness.
Notes
- Customize the spice blend by experimenting with different herbs and spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs to enhance flavor profiles.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs for those with dietary restrictions.
- Prepare a quick dipping sauce using Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, or mustard to complement the crispy chicken goujons and add extra moisture
