Method

Impress your nearest and dearest and have a go making homemade chicken goujons and ketchup. You'll need some fresh breadcrumbs to coat the meat so use a food processor to blend some slightly stale bread. The ketchup is a simple and magical combination of tomatoes, salt, sugar, and vinegar.

  1. Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs onto separate plates. Dip the chicken strips into the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs, to coat. Set aside to dry for up to 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the ketchup. Mix together the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, sugar and vinegar in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Season to taste and either crush roughly with a fork or purée with a stick blender.
  3. Pour oil into a frying pan to a depth of ½cm (¼in) and heat until a breadcrumb dropped into the oil sizzles. Fry the chicken strips for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through with no pink showing; the coating should be crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Spoon into paper cones and serve immediately, with the ketchup.
