Lily loves nuggets. Who doesn't?! I have been (mostly) gluten free for almost a year and love the benefits! I have tried some store bought strips that were decent, but not good quality chicken. I had never made my own nugget, but now I'm asking myself WHY?! They are so easy and yummy to make!
Yes, that's ranch dressing with them. Delicious. I know it's not healthy, but hey at least I'm gluten free!
GLUTEN FREE GARLICKY CHICKEN NUGGETS
Serves 4
Package of high quality (organic, antibiotic-free) chicken TENDERS (around 1lb)
1.5 cup all purpose gluten free flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper
2 eggs
Splash of your milk of choice (I used cow milk) - optional
1/2 cup canola oil (you could also use coconut oil)
Extra salt for sprinkling
Cut up your chicken tenders in bite size (think Chick fil a) pieces. Sprinkle them with salt. In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and thoroughly blend with a fork. In another bowl, combine egg and milk and whisk until well blended. Take a small handful of nuggets and dip in the egg mixture. Then thoroughly coat in the flour mixture and place on a plate. Repeat until all of the nuggets are coated. Pour the oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, fry half of the nuggets at a time, flipping/tossing every minute or two until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from oil onto paper towels and sprinkle with salt if desired. Eat!!!
I served mine with ranch dressing as a dip and an avocado sprout tomato salad (recipe coming!).
We could not quit eating them!
