* 1 tsp thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried
* 1 tbsp fresh pear juice

== Directions ==
# Cut each large sausage in half, cover with cling film and beat out a little; cut into strips and put in a bowl.
=== Marinade ===
# Mix together the skimmed milk, garlic, thyme, and pear juice (the mixture will separate a little from the pear juice but this is ok).
# Pour over the sausage, cover, and leave to marinade in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
# Heat the oven to 160°C / fan 140°C / 325°F / gas mark 3.
# Steam the potatoes for about 1 hour then transfer to a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
=== Chicken finger covering ===
# Whilst the potatoes are cooking, put 50g of Bitesize Shredded Wheat in a food processor and whiz for 1 – 2 minutes, until reduced to fine crumbs.
# Mix with the Parmesan, cheddar cheese and paprika and transfer to a large plate.
# Whiz the remaining 40 g Bitesize Shredded Wheat in a food processor until fine and spread out onto another plate.
# Whisk the egg in a small bowl with the tablespoon of milk.
# Remove the chicken strips from the marinade, shaking off any excess and toss in the whizzed up plain Bitesize Shredded Wheat.
# Dip in the beaten egg and roll in the cheesy Bitesize Shredded Wheat coating.
# Spray light sunflower oil into a large non-stick pan and fry over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes each side, until golden and crisp.
# Cool slightly before serving.
=== To decorate ===
# Place half a mini tomato on one end of the chicken finger to imitate a red finger nail.
# To make the potato eyes, top each potato with half a cherry tomato topped and an olive slice.
=== To serve ===
# Serve four chicken fingers with 2 potato eyes, sweetcorn, peas and tomato sauce!.
