Lisa Faulkner- chicken in mayonnaise and rice crispies...

[Mirrorball]

... is gorgeous!! Seriously, the kids were all over it and I have just polished off the left overs dipped in last night's left over curry. Heaven.

Does anyone have the book and are there any other good recipes? Worth buying?

That sounds revolting.
I don't have the book, and will now mark it on my 'to avoid', list!

Actually, that's probably a bit unfair, what is the recipe?
Even if I don't want to try it, DD might.

It does sound revolting. But if it isn't...

They are amazing, I honestly am sad that I didn't eat them slower. MIL made them for the kids - chicken cut into goujons, then I presume dipped in mayo, then covered in crushed up rice crispies. You have to try them... I will try to find recipe online and post.

I love Birdseye chicken quarter pounders in rice crispies, so I am sure to love this!

Cant find the recipe online!

I like the sound of these and couldnt find the recipe online either.

Hi there, I am Lisa's sister and I can honestly say these are lovely! Everyone makes a weird face when it's suggested but it needs to be tried! Lisa's book is brilliant (although she is my sister so I'm obviously a bit biased!) but it is really reasonable at Tesco and Sainsburys (£& 7 £9) and the recipes are great! In the meantime , enough plugging, you simply coat raw chicken breast (pieces, like nuggets or whole breasts) in mayonnaise, then rice krispies, a bit crushed up with salt and pepper if you want, then cook on baking tray in oven for about 20 mins, depending on size of pieces! Easy!!

Its a lovely recipe, you can also substitute crushed up plain crisps for crispies.

Ooh Lisa 's sister?!

Oooh I'd like the recipe with plain crisps

I heard her say this on tv and substituted the mayo for yogurt. It's great and easier than the crushed up Ritz crackers I usually used. Cooked mayo sounded sort of wrong

I'm going to give this a go - will look out for her book too

Am I right in thinking that she won Masterchef a while ago? Or am I confused? (again!)

oh, yuk.
Especially if you are now suggesting cooking chicken in mayo and CRISPS.

Is this whole thread a cunningly disguised plug for the book? Welcome to Mn TorrieLoo.

she did win celebrity masterchef, yes.....

SwedishEdith - yogurt sounds good!!! :))

Hi Blu, thanks for the welcome- of course it is a cunningly disguised plug for the book. being the mother of 3 kids I have nothing better to do than come on here to give people a recipe ;) Lisa's just become the 5th female food writer to top the bookseller's top 20 hardback non-fiction chart in the past 10 years so I'm really proud of her ....Give it a go- you'll be surprised! :)

No, no, I don't believe mayonnaise is an ingredient to be used in a hot recipe.

And how anyone who includes recipes using mayo and rice krispies gets to be the 5th female food writer to...(insert blurb) is a source of considerable amazement to me.

Delia, Claudia Roden, Elizabeth David, Angela Hartnett, Sam from Moro, Madhur Jaffrey, Rose Grey and Ruth Rogers, and even Nigella Lawson, must be weeping into their onions!

Fine, those who enjoy this stuff, but really, it sounds bleugh.

I've got the book and am going to make this recipe this weekend. I follow Lisa on Twitter and people have been going mad about it.

I made the banana cake last week and loved it.

thanks landofsoapandglory!

I'm off, thanks Blu, you've confirmed what I thought Mumsnet was- I was a bit scared to post on here and that's why! although there are some really nice comments, human nature makes us home in on the horrid ones. I came on to help out as I saw some people were interested in the recipe. If you weren't you needn't have involved yourself. I won't be posting on here again- just don't understand the need for bitchiness especially to people's families! Bye! :(

Lots of people said they liked the sound of it!

I was not bitchy, just giving my reaction.

I think you were quite rude there, Blu.

Well done Blu, you have just reinforced all the crap being peddled in the media about the bitchiness and bullying on MN.

Ok, you might not like the recipe or even the writer, but I think that was over the top and uncalled for.

this bit

is bitchy!

You must be very proud, torieloo, I would be too!

No you were being mean Blu, there are diplomatic ways to speak to someone's sister about their occupation.

Neither of us have tried it, so neither can really have an opinion.

Stay around torieloo, it is a great forum community - even if their are some grumps
