Ever heard of brinner, Chef? That’s eating a breakfast meal for dinner. We’re doing a unique UCOOK take on that by using cornflakes as a crust for the crispiest chicken tenders you’ll ever taste. These are drizzled with a hot honey sauce, then sided with paprika-spiced potato wedges and a creamy chive, cucumber & sunflower seed coleslaw.

PAPRIKA POTATO WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ½ the smoked paprika, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CREAMY COLESLAW
In a bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage, the cucumber matchsticks, ½ the toasted seeds, the mayo, ½ the chopped chives, and seasoning. Set aside.
CORNFLAKE-CRUST CHICKEN
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with 1 tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing ⅔ (about 40ml) of the flour (seasoned lightly) and the other containing the crushed cornflakes. Coat the chicken in the flour first, then in the egg, and, lastly, in the crushed cornflakes. When passing through the cornflakes, press it into the meat so it sticks and coats evenly.
THE CRUNCH FACTOR
Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken until browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
SWEET-HOT OIL
Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the sweet vinegar, the remaining smoked paprika, and the chilli oil (to taste). Simmer until thickening, 1-2 minutes. Loosen with 1 tbsp of water. Remove from the heat and set aside. Keep in the pan to reheat before serving.
A MEMORABLE MEAL
Serve up the crispy cornflake tenders and drizzle with the hot honey sauce. Plate the golden potatoes and the creamy slaw alongside. Garnish with the remaining toasted seeds and the chopped chives.
