Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast
- 50 g cornflour
- 100 g plain all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 150 g panko breadcrumbs
- 250 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into strips approximately 1cm wide.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond milk and lemon juice. Set this aside; it will act as a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the cornflour, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dip it into the almond milk mixture, and finally roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 7
Carefully add the chicken strips to the pan in batches, ensuring they aren't crowded, and fry for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the chicken goujons from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
