Chicken nuggets with a coating of potato crisps

Are you stumped as to what to prepare for dinner tonight, maybe because you have a number of children to feed after an enjoyable day playing outside with their friends? Well, let us suggest something special, a perfect recipe for chicken ‘nuggets’. Don’t worry, it will not be the usual TV dinner with thighs or wings that, in the end, bores us even at the very sight of it. No, our chicken nuggets are made with a special ‘breading’ made with potato crisps, crunchy and irresistible. Make plenty of them, because they will be irresistibly tempting to a table full of young diners: as soon as the first few bites have been taken, the kids will inevitably demand more, and still more, licking their plates clean. The only drawback of this recipe is that after making it once, your children will not give you any peace until you make it again.

Dip the pieces of chicken in flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the crumbled crisps.

Serve piping hot with the sauce.
