Tasty Chicken Nuggets

Serves 2-3 people

You will need:
Chopping board
Knives
Glad bag
Bowls
Oven Tray
Foil

Ingredients:
2 Chicken Breasts (can use thigh if you prefer)
1 pkt of Red Rock Deli Plain Chips
1-2 Eggs
1/2 cup Plain flour

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200 - you want it hot to cook and crisp quickly.
  2. Crush the Chips into small pieces, works well in packet inside bowl with potato masher or end of glass. (you will need between 1/2-3/4 of the pkt)
  3. Dice the chicken, place chicken and flour into glad bag and shake to coat.
  4. Dip coated chicken into whisked egg and cover with egg mix, allow excess to fall off then place into bowl with crushed chips.
  5. Cover with chips by rolling and pressing the chips firmly into the chicken
  6. Place on foil covered tray and cook for 15-20 mins (less for small sized pieces).
  7. ENJOY :)

Tips & Serving Suggestions:

  • Make strips of chicken and serve with salad wraps
  • Can substitute chips for breadcrumbs, try with different flavoured chips for an interesting twist!
  • Use gluten free flour, and you have a gluten free chicken nugget! You can also use rice crumbs as a subsitute for gluten free option.
  • Great with sweet chili sauce as finger food.
  • If crumbs fall off (not for chips) place in fridge for 10mins before cooking
  • Chip coated nuggets will not re-heat too well, try making the exact amount or use a flat Foreman style cooker - will maintain the crispyness! Also great for reheat pizza :)
  • Suitable for Elimination diets, providing you can have egg (use red rock deli chips -> uses canola oil)
