Mini chicken drumsticks
“Keep it simple, make it colourful, prepare ahead - and pare back.”
- 1 cup cornflakes
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup plain flour
- 10 chicken wings
- Canola oil for shallow frying
- Plum sauce, to serve
With a little inspiration, imagination and forward planning, a day involving screaming hordes of children descending on your home in search of fairy bread can be fun.
Method
Crush cornflakes into crumbs and combine on a plate with breadcrumbs. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl and place the flour on a separate plate.
Cut little drumsticks from chicken wing tips (reserving remaining pieces for chicken stock) then lightly dust chicken drumsticks with flour, dip in egg mixture and then coat with crumb mixture.
Shallow fry in hot oil until golden and cooked or spray with olive oil spray and bake at 200C for about 20-25 minutes (depending on size) until cooked.
Cool slightly and serve with plum sauce. Can be made a day ahead and reheated.
Makes 10.
