Published on 21 April 2022
These quick, crunchy chicken goujons, flavoured with zesty lemon and black pepper, are the perfect finger food. If you have a bit longer and want to avoid using oil, you can bake in the oven for 30-35 mins instead of frying them. If you have any leftover, they're great in lunchboxes the next day – just chill in the fridge after cooking. Time and servings
