(ASDA) GF Chicken nuggets and (home made) sweet potato chips

Hello :)

So today I was really craving the chicken nuggets I had been saving in my freezer. And then (of course!) felt the need to have chips with them, which I didn't have so decided I would attempt to make from a sweet potato.

The result:

I know it all looks a bit orange but it tasted pretty good!! 

The chicken nuggets were the 'Georgia's Choice chicken bites' from the free from frozen section in ASDA:    






Chicken bites review:

Where: ASDA

How much: £2.40 for 20 bites (which are average chicken nugget sized!)

Value: £2.40 feels fairly expensive, especially as it works out at 12p a nugget, but then again a meal of 5 nuggets is 60p and with a cheap side this is probably a fairly standard meal price... it's just the student in me that resents paying that! Although ASDA's own 'normal' chicken bites are £2.20 for 250g, and these are £2.40 for 300g so it's not actually too bad.

Taste: Taste YUMMY to me!! I don't know if it's just because I was deprived of nuggets for a few years post-diagnosis but now they are one of my favorite foods... I don't know what that says for my taste buds :P But anyway as a chicken-nugget-lover these have my approval for sure :D


Sweet potato fries recipe:

I don't know if this is the best recipe to follow as they weren't exactly the crispy chips I was hoping for but the general taste was good enough for me so may be worth a try, just perhaps a bit more oil and at a higher heat next time.

1 sweet potato
a few sprays of fry light
salt to taste

1. Preheat oven to 200°C
2. Peel sweet potato and cut into chips
3. Spray the chips in a bowl and using your hands (or utensils if you would rather) ensure all the chips are coated
4. Spray the baking tray with oil (or use actual oil if you prefer) and then I used a silicone pastry brush to make sure this created an even covering over the tray
5. Place the chips in a single layer on the tray
6. Sprinkle with salt or other condiments (e.g pepper) to your taste
7. Cook for 25 minutes plus, depending on the size you have made your fries, and to your taste. Turn the chips/loosen them on the tray about half way through cooking.

Hope you enjoy
