Best chicken nuggets

Home made chicken nuggets using what you have. (I call them "who needs McDonald's")

This batch we tried Doritos, Cheerios, and gold fish (military style red, white & blue)

First slice your chicken into 1x1" squares, dredge in flour (we use kings)

After dredge in a milk/egg mix (about 1 cup skim & 2 eggs, I also added about 2tbsp honey)

I filled 3 sandwich zip top bags about 3/4 full with each flavor and crushed with back of large spoon.

About 4 pieces of the chicken fit into each bag at a time, shake (like shake and bake) then put in medium heat pan with canola (or your favorite oil) oil 1/2" deep

Tonight they cooked about 2 1/2 minutes per side, check temp or slice one open for doneness.

Top row is goldfish cracker, center is Cheerios and bottom is Doritos.

We've used honey nut Cheerios in the past and they are super delish, tonight was plain Cheerios and it came out sort of bland. These are the results of only 2 chicken breasts!! Seriously cheap meal, and everyone is happy because they choose their own flavor.

Here is what you'll need:

1 deep pan

1 cup skim milk

2 eggs

(Optional) honey 

1/2-1 cup dry cereal, chips, or other crushable food. *per bag* the more daring the choice, the more exciting the outcome.

1 1/2 cups flour (white, whole wheat etc)

2 large shallow bowls

3 sandwich sized zip top bags.

Serving fork for turning chicken in pan

Whisk for blending wet ingredients

Turn the pan on to warm it while you crush the dry ingredients in the bags. Then add oil just before you're ready to place chicken in.

Total prep / cook time for me was 1/2 hour, add 10-15 minutes your first try.

Kids will LOVE & even ask to help crush, be aware it may cause a huge mess. Supervise to ensure bags don't break, but do let them help!
