Recipe: Baked sesame and chicken shots

A healthier and oil-free alternative to chicken nuggets



Method

•  Preheat oven to 375^oC and cover a baking pan with cooking spray.

•  Whisk all the ingredients (except the corn flour mixture) together in a bowl and add the chicken pieces to the mixture.

•  Prepare the corn flour by mixing it with water.

•  Coat the chicken with corn flour and transfer it onto a large pan, drizzled with very little oil. Sauté the chicken at medium-heat for about four minutes, or until it becomes brown in colour.

•  Once fried, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake it for about 20 to 25 minutes, until it is cooked through.

•  Garnish the shots with sesame seeds and serve it alongside a dollop of coleslaw.
