Ingredients

1kg chicken tenderloins

200g plain flour

400g fine breadcrumbs or Japanese panko

1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

2. Coat each piece of chicken on all sides, first in the flour, then in the egg wash, then in the crumbs.

3. Heat the oil in a heavy-based fry pan and cook the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel, and serve with plum sauce for dipping.

Just tried this recipe - talk about a disaster! The quantities were probably about 50percent too much (used Panko crumbs). The cooking was a lesson in how to burn crumbs and not cook chicken (even turning the heat down - and anyway when the recipe says heat the oil - at what temperature? I would have been better to go to KFC and buy a bunch of chicken strips! Not an easy recipe at all!

Seems to me that harold just can't cook. Rochelle I would substitute sweet chilli sauce if I didn't like plum. or a honey mustard mix.
