Ingredients

  • 200g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 5ml (1 tsp) ground cumin
  • 5ml (2 tsp) ground coriander
  • 5ml (1 tsp) fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped

  • 200g Grain Field Chickens Mini Chicken Breast Fillets, battered out lightly

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs with cumin, coriander, ginger, chilli, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.
  3. Beat the eggs in another bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken fillet in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat well in the spiced breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the coated fillets on a rack to dry slightly before frying.
  6. Heat enough oil for deep-frying and cook the chicken in batches until golden and cooked through.
  7. Drain on paper towel and serve warm over a fresh salad with lemon wedges or a creamy yoghurt dressing.

💡 Serving Suggestion

Serve your crumbed chicken on a bed of crisp lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion — drizzle with a coriander-mint yoghurt sauce for the ultimate finish.
