1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp honey

Method

Combine the mushroom, chicken, egg and salt in a food processor and process to a paste.

Dust with cornflour and freeze for 30 minutes.

Combine all the ingredients for the nugget batter and whisk to a smooth batter. Dip the nuggets into the batter and return to the tray and freeze for a further 1 hour. For the nugget sauce, mix the ingredients all together.

3

Heat the oil to 150C and fry the nuggets for about 10 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely. Return the oil to 180C and fry for a further 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Serve with the nugget sauce.
