Tips, food safety & substitutions
Cut the chicken into even pieces so they cook at the same speed. Food safety: chicken must be cooked through with no pink parts; egg coating fully set. Allergens: contains egg and wheat (breadcrumbs, flour). Substitute: use crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Nutrition figures are estimates.
