Home fried chicken nuggets

If you ask my kids what they want for dinner.... this is what they will always say! Chicken nuggets!

This is a really easy recipe and I have some tricks that help keep it clean. I don't cook this much for them because it is cooked in the deep fryer... but they get it often enough! Here's the breakdown:

8-10 chicken tenders (raw and thawed)

2 cups milk or buttermilk

1 egg

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt 

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 gallon zip bags

oil to fry with

Use a gallon size zip bag. Mix egg and milk in the bag.

Chop up tenderloins into bite size pieces.

Put them in the milk/egg mix , zip and shake. Refrigerate until ready to cook. I like to let them marinate at least an hour, but it's not necessary.

In the other zip bag, mix flour, salt and pepper. (add 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to make them taste a little more like Chick-fil-A's)

Take the chicken pieces out of the milk bag and drop into the flour bag. No need to let them drip off, just throw them in. Then, shake-shake-shake! 

Nuggets should be coated in the flour!

Cook in oil at 375 degrees for approx 5-6 mins.

When the nuggets are golden brown and crispy, they are done! No need for clean up! Just toss the zip bags in the trash! Enjoy!
