Chicken Nuggets
I would rater die, than eat chicken McNuggets or other store bought nuggets. There is nothing good about a salty fattening fried piece of "chicken." But homemade nuggets made from chicken breast, is a meal worth eating. They are easy to make and is a good and healthy dinner on a week-night. You just have to plan ahead, and marinate the chicken. You can even substitute the cracker with rye flour for a healthier option.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 250 g buttermilk
- 25-50 g saltine crackers or another salty buttery cracker
- 1-2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch pepper
- salt
Directions:
Cut each chicken breast in 8-10 pieces, and put them in a plastic bag or container. Add the buttermilk, and let the chicken marinade in 24-48 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
Drain of the buttermilk, and wipe the excess buttermilk off in a paper towel.
Put cracker and spices in a zipplock bag, and break the cracker into small crumbs. Put the chicken pieces into the bag, to coat.
Spread the chicken onto a baking sheet, and bake 15-20 minutes. Turn pieces over midway.
Enjoy!
