Spicy and Flavoursome Chicken Nuggets

Spicy and Flavoursome Chicken Nuggets

One day I just decided to make some chicken nuggets for the children as these were really healthy however i added some spices to them and they tasted exactly like KFC Popcorn Chicken! However it was an experiemnt which I didn't record what spices I put in but I have tried to and tried and have finally got the balance I need and there aren't even 14 spices!





Ingredients:

250g Chicken Breast Fillets (cut into nugget shaped + sized pieces)

3 slices of bread
1 egg (beaten)

50g Flour
1/2 tbsp gorund pepper
1 teaspoon ground garlic
1/2 teaspoon  of ground parsley
1/2 teapoon of ground rosemary
salt


Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 200C/400F, lightly flour a baking tray and get a small plastic cooking bag. Then add spices and chicken to bag and shake well so most of the spices after take out of bag and rub in any left over spices onto the chicken.

2. Blitz bread in food processor half a slice at a time, until the bread is now breadcrumbs. Then place flour, bradcrumbs and the beaten egg in sepreate bowls each. Dip chicken in flour first, (patting of any excess flour). Then dip in egg (shaking off any excess egg but making sure the egg has fully covered the chicken). Finaly dip into the breadcrumbs, rolling the chicken around in the crumbs helps the breadcrumbe cover the chicken fully. Place each nugget on the floured baking tray and place in oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. (Make sure chicken is cooked through by cutting open the biggest nugget. The nugget should be hot and white)

3.Serve nuggets!

Because these nuggets do not require any frying they are also a very healthy treat at the same time!
