CHICKEN NUGGETS


What kid doesn't love chicken nuggets? Even grown ups like these. At least with these I know they aren't gross, processed, leftover meat. My kids like to help me make these by dipping them in the milk and flour coating. It can get messy but they have fun learning. Just keep the little ones away from the hot oil. You can cut these small for kid-sized bites, in longer strips for grown-ups or stick them with toothpicks or skewers and serve them as an easy party appetizer.

CHICKEN NUGGETS

2 -3 chicken breasts
1 c. flour
1 1/2 t. salt
1 t. onion powder
1 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. black pepper
1 c. milk for dipping
2 T. oil for frying

  1. Mix flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Cut the raw chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. TIP: Raw chicken is actually easier to cut when just slightly frozen.
  3. Pour oil in electric frying pan. Heat to 350 degrees.
  4. Dip chicken pieces in milk, then in the flour mixture.
  5. Fry in hot oil until juices run clear turning once to fry both sides. Serve immediately.
  • We usually serve these with hash browns and veggie sticks and dip.
