Ritzy Chicken Nuggets

1. 1

   Cut out the chicken bone if there is one, and put the chicken breasts one at a time into freezer bag so that they lie flat.

2. 2

   Bash with a rolling pin until the chicken is quite thin, and then take it out and slice into about six to eight slices.

3. 3

   Repeat with the other chicken breast.

4. 4

   Scissors make this easy for children, too, and as long as you make them wash their hands well before and after, of course, you may hand a pair straight to a nearby child.

5. 5

   Put the slices into a freezer bag with the buttermilk and leave in the fridge to marinate for up to 2 days.

6. 6

   When you are ready to cook them, heat the oil in a large frying pan.

7. 7

   Put the Ritz crackers into a bag, seal the end, than bash them as above and, once they have broken down a little, roll them with a rolling pin still inside the bag.

8. 8

   Tip the crumbs into a wide shallow bowl, and then shake off the excess buttermilk from the nuggets and dip them in the crumbs.

9. 9

   Coat them well before laying gently in the hot oil, and cooking for about 2 or 3 minutes a side until they are golden brown.

10. 10

    Transfer to some paper towel on a plate to blot the excess oil.
