1 tbsp vegemite
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp honey

Marinate the chicken in vegemite , sesame oil, garlic and honey and leave it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.  Overnight is best but I did not have the time .

Marinate 3 chicken tender/chunks with blended mixture ( 1 clove garlic, some yellow onion, some ginger and 1 bunch of coriander leaf) with 5 crushed grapes and set aside in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Add salt & Pepper if desire . I chose to omit it .

Remove the chicken and coat in plain flour , followed by 1/2 egg ( lightly beaten) ,  cornflake mix (blend 1cup Cornflake , 1/3 cup oat &  1/4 cup pumpkin seeds).

Drizzle some olive oil and bake at 180 degrees for 25-30 min depending on thickness of chicken tender.

This will taste great with yoghurt dip or homemade tomato sauce too ☺

* If you have left over flour,egg and cornflake mix, just mix the a little flour, egg and cornflake mix into a batter and roll into balls and bake it too. No wastage ☺
