Harvest is in full swing after a few breakdowns, some rain and some harvest bans due to hot, windy weather. Harvest brings with it our two lovely boys who take holidays from their regular jobs to come home and help.
We couldn’t manage without them and are so grateful that they continue to use their time off this way.<\/p>\n
Of course, this means I have extra mouths to feed and extra lunch boxes to fill. It’s always a bit of a battle thinking of savoury foods to pack. Foods must be able to be eaten with one hand as most times the boys are driving a header or a truck. I often make sausage rolls, mini pasties, meatballs and such, but was wanting some roadhouse food that they both love. The healthiest I could think of was the Sweet Chilli Chicken Strips. I’ve created my own version and they’re pretty good. There’s also some variations on the theme with my other spice mixes as well as using fish and pork instead of chicken.<\/p>\n
It’s best to start the night before to marinate the chicken strips. When ready to coat, allow an extra couple of hours refrigeration<\/p>\n
