Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Spread the fries over two oven trays lined with baking paper. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size so it cooks in the allocated time.
While the fries are baking, drain the sweetcorn. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are "popping" out. Transfer to a large bowl. Thinly slice the tomato into half-moons. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely chop the chives.
Slice each chicken tenderloin into thirds. In a shallow bowl, combine the salt, sweet mustard spice blend, plain flour and a good pinch of pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, place the fine breadcrumbs. Dip a handful of the chicken into the flour mixture, followed by the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the crumbed chicken and cook, turning, until golden and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining chicken. TIP: Add extra oil between batches, if needed, so the chicken doesn't stick to the pan.
To the bowl with the corn, add the balsamic vinegar and 4 tsp olive oil and mix to combine. Add the tomato, carrot and mixed salad leaves. Just before serving, toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the chicken nuggets, potato fries and charred corn salad between plates. Sprinkle the salad with the chives and serve the smokey aioli on the side.
