ROAST CARROT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
CHICKEN PREP
Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the flour (seasoned lightly) and the other containing the breadcrumbs. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and season. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour first, then in the egg, and, lastly, in the breadcrumbs.
FRYING MOMENT
Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed tenders until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and season.
DO THE SIDES
In a bowl, combine the lemon juice with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Toss through the shredded salad leaves. In a small bowl, combine the mayo with a splash of water and seasoning.
TIME TO EAT
Plate up the roasted carrot. Side with the golden chicken tenders and the dressed salad leaves. Serve the mayo on the side for dunking. Well done, Chef!
