  1. Cut your chicken, and mix with the marinade ingredients. Marinade the chicken for 30 minutes to 24 hours in the fridge.
  2. Combine ingredients for the crust.
  3. Prepare your chicken fingers:
    • Shake each finger off.
    • Place in your crust mix, you will find the buttermilk acts as the perfect glue for the crust.
  4. Warm up your oil. Preheat your oven to 220 degrees C (the perfect temperature for making chips in your oven!).
  5. In small batches, fry your chicken fingers, turn the chicken fingers after they have brown on one side. Take your fish fingers out of the oil, in a dish in the oven.
  6. Combine the ingredients for the dip.

BBQ favorites: simple and fast marinade

This marinade is our favorite for “speklapjes”, a cheap but delicious cut of pork translated as fatback. It works well with any cut of pork and even livens up a simple sausage. This marinade is loved equally by both children and grown-ups.

The secret to this marinade is using good quality sweet pepper. Most spices you can just buy in a supermarket, but for paprika you should really go to a deli. I stocked up during our holiday in Spain. Both the sweet and the spicy version are worth the effort. you can use these blends to liven up your fried potatoes or your chicken, and it is a must-have for Mexican dishes.

Sweet red BBQ marinade

  • 4 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp good quality sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt

After mixing the ingredients, apply generously to your choice of meat. Grill your meat on a barbecue or in the oven.
