Ritzy Chicken Nuggets

Directions

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.
