  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp. Flip over halfway through cooking.
  9. While the chicken cooks, work on the sauce: Gently melt the butter over a medium-low heat. Add in the remaining tablespoon of flour, stirring constantly until a smooth paste forms. This should only take a few minutes.
  10. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the milk. Return to the heat and bring to the boil. Season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Reduce to a simmer and cook through, continuing to stir, for a further few minutes until thickened.
  11. Once chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and turn on the grill on a high heat.
  12. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top with handfuls of grated cheese.
  13. Grill until the cheese has melted.
  14. Enjoy with some garlic sauce and chips!
