Crispy chicken nuggets
A back-to-school favorite, these chicken nuggets are extra crunchy due to their corn-flake coating. You can use a food processor to crush the corn flakes, or just bang them on the table in a zip-top bag until crumbly. There are many kinds of paprika to spice these up, from sweet to smoky to mild to spicy. Feel free to use your favorite. Serve the nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients:
Olive oil non-stick cooking spray
2 ⅔ cups corn flakes
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 24 chunks
Directions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 2
Process the corn flakes into crumbs in a food processor or blender. Scrape into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
Step 3
Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder and paprika in another shallow bowl. Beat the egg in a separate shallow bowl.
Step 4
Working one at a time, coat the chicken chunks with the flour mixture. Then dip each chunk into the egg to coat. Transfer to the corn flake crumbs, pressing the chicken to coat on all sides. Place on baking sheet.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining chicken. When done, spray chicken chunks with cooking spray.
Step 6
Bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
