Nutty Chicken Strips.

  1. Boneless Chicken – 250 gmDSC_5489
  2. Salt
  3. Plain flour (maida) – 2.5 tbsp
  4. Egg – 1, lightly beaten
  5. Milk – 1 tbsp
  6. Ground almonds – 1/2 cup (refer notes)
  7. Bread crumbs – 2/3 cup
  8. Pepper powder/Red chilli flakes – 1 – 1.5 tsp
  9. Oil

Clean the chicken and cut into thin strips. Marinate the chicken pieces with salt and roll in plain flour. Shake off the excess flour. Combine the beaten egg & milk and dip the chicken pieces in this mixture. Combine almond flour, bread crumbs & pepper powder/chilli flakes. Roll the chicken pieces in almond & bread crumb mixture.

Refrigerate the coated chicken pieces for 1 hour. Deep fry the chicken strips in hot oil until lightly browned . Drain on absorbent paper. Serve  hot with sauce/dip of your choice.

Notes: The original recipe doesnt use any pepper/chilli flakes. If you are making this for little kids, you can avoid it completely. I used spiced breadcrumbs and so I didnt add any pepper/chilli flakes.

Homemade Almod flour/ground almonds:

1 cup almond flour = To make your own almond meal place 1 cup (100 grams) sliced (blanched (skins off) or natural (skins on)) almonds with 1 tablespoon (14grams) granulated white sugar in a blender or food processor and process until finely ground.  Sugar or flour is added to the almonds to prevent clumping as it absorbs the oil exuded from the almonds.  Toasting the almonds first dries them which also helps to prevent clumping.
