Air Fryer Perfection – Bel’s Seasoned Breaded Chicken Goujons! 🍗✨

Looking for a quick, delicious meal that hits the spot every time? Our seasoned Breaded Chicken Goujons are a total winner in the air fryer—crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside, and ready in minutes!

How to get that perfect crunch:

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Place the goujons in the basket, keeping them spaced out to let the hot air circulate.

Spray them lightly with oil to ensure that golden, glossy finish.

Cook for 10–12 minutes, making sure to flip them at the halfway mark.

Pro tip: Give them one more light spray after flipping for extra crispiness!

Whether you’re serving them up with your favourite dips, stuffing them into a warm wrap, adding them to a fresh salad, or tucking them into a sandwich, they are guaranteed to be a hit.

There is something special about the connection you build when you shop local. Supporting your neighbourhood butcher and independent shops is about so much more than just picking up your weekly essentials—it is about investing in the heart of our community.

When you choose to shop at places like Bel’s Butchers in Montrose or Edzell, you are doing more than buying high-quality, locally sourced meat. You are:

Keeping the local economy thriving: Every pound spent with a local business helps ensure that money stays within our community, supporting local families and jobs.

Reducing food miles: By choosing a local butcher, you are often supporting regional farmers, which helps lower the environmental impact associated with long-distance food transport.

Building real relationships: Unlike big supermarkets, we get to know our customers by name. We can offer expert advice on the best cuts for your Sunday roast, share cooking tips, and ensure you get exactly what you need.

Preserving the high street: Independent shops give our towns their unique character and charm. Your support ensures that our local high streets remain vibrant, welcoming, and full of life.

We are incredibly proud to serve our community, and we are so grateful for every one of you who chooses to shop local. Thank you for making our towns better places to live and work.

Come see us this week for your fresh, local favourites, or browse our range online at www.belsbutchers.co.uk.

How have you seen the benefits of shopping locally in your own neighbourhood?

At the heart of Bel’s Butchers, it isn’t just our award-winning steak pies or our prime cuts of meat that define us—it is the people who stand behind our counters every single day.

We are incredibly proud to attribute the continued success of our shops in Montrose and Edzell to our brilliant team. From the dedication John brings to his role as manager, ensuring every customer feels welcome, to the skill and precision our cooks puts into crafting our famous pies, and the hard work of every person on our staff, their expertise is what makes our business what it is today.

Our team’s passion for quality and their commitment to serving our community is the secret ingredient in everything we produce. We are lucky to have such a hardworking group, and we want to say a huge thank you to them for their constant support and talent.

It’s not often you catch Bel outside of the shops, but when she does manage to step away from the counter, there’s only one place you’ll find her.
​It was fantastic to see Bel finding some time this week to take part in her absolute favourite pastime!

Montrose Ladies 2 were at home this week against WANT 2. Jen, Janet, Evelyn, Lindsey, Za & Bel made up the numbers this time around. It was a challenging night against strong opposition but we gave it our best shot! Bel & Za secured 3 sets & Lindsey & Evelyn also picked up a set. Jen & Janet had a bit of bad luck in the first set when Janet unfortunately twisted her knee & had to concede the set. She bravely played the following three sets but missed out on a win.
The final score was 8-4 to WANT 2. Next week we are at home again against Scone & our team will be Jen, Amy, Bel, Za, Evelyn & Lindsey.
