I usually buy these Woolworths Crumbed Chicken Burgers 440g patties for the kids lunch box.
I was wondering if there’s a better option available (no bulk buy—just a 4–6 pack is fine) that would work well for quick lunch box prep in the mornings?
Thanks
for the kids lunch box.
These are 51% chicken and 49% non-chicken.
So mainly chicken then?
2% of the chickens identify as turkeys…
We sometimes buy these when they have their 50% off deals:

How about chicken drumsticks?
Don't feed your kids those. Even though they're admitting to them containing 51% chicken, that could be any part of any chicken. It isn't necessarily 50grams of chicken breast/thigh meat as you know it?
Furthermore, you're paying $15 a kg for that muck.
That's $15 a kilo for water
$15 a kilo for bread crumbs
$15 a kilo for all the other crap in them too
And
$15 for the chicken you actually want to feed them.
Chicken breast should only be about $12 most weeks.
Slice each breast into half lengthways - or cut into nuggets or sticks
Flatten them to about 1cm thick
Dust with flour
Coat in egg mix (1:1 egg:milk or water if cost cutting)
Coat in seasoned breadcrumbs or even panko
Air fry/shallow fry
And Bob's your uncle!
At last twice as much bang for your buck and a lot more healthy!
Fo a few kg at once, freeze in airtight individual portion sizes (sandwich bag will be fine) and you'll be good to go for weeks!
