- Load chicken balls into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and then into the breadcrumbs bowl. Make sure each piece of chicken is well coated from each bowl.

Notes
- Improvising. Here in Portugal, we cannot get chicken mince outside of Christmas. What I did instead was make Lidl chicken burgers into quarters and used these instead. You can do the same and it’s a great way to use up chicken burgers.
- Dipping. For my dipping sauce I added mayonnaise to a bowl with lemon juice and paprika and it was delicious.
