Fried Chicken and Crispy Chips

Ingredients

• chicken (however much you need)
• plain flour
• egg (beaten)
• breadcrumbs
• mustard seeds

for the chips

• potatoes
• salt and pepper
• olive oil

Directions

1. Heat up the oven to 180C/350F.
2. Cut up the potatoes into chips and soak them in boiling hot water for 10 minutes.
3. Put them on some baking paper on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix well until all the chips are covered.
4. Cover the chips with tin foil and stick them in the oven. Keep the tin foil on for the first 10 minutes and once off, bake for another 30 minutes, or until nicely browned.
5. This is how you make them crispy.
6. Now the chicken - prepare 2 little plates and 1 little bowl. Put flour on one plate, the egg in the bowl and breadcrumbs with a little of mustard seeds in the other plate.
7. Cut the chicken up into nuggets and make the crust: first cover them in flour (it helps the egg to stick), then in egg (it helps the breadcrumbs to stick) and then in the breadcrumbs mixture.
8. It is a fiddly process, but it's all worth in the end.
9. Lay the nuggets out on some tin foil and bake in the same oven for about 20 minutes or until nice and crisp.
