Corn Flake Chicken Nuggets image

I saw Emeril prepare this on The Rosie O'Donnel Show as a kid friendly recipe. I think it is grown-up friendly too!

Provided by Richard-NYC

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into nuggets
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 cup corn flakes, coarsely crushed
1 dash garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and BBQ sauce in bowl.
  • Crush corn flakes in zipper bag.
  • Season with garlic powder.
  • Shake sauce coated chicken a couple of pieces at a time in zipper bag with crushed corn flakes Bake on baking sheet at 350 for 25 minutes or until done.
  • Serve with BBQ sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but frozen corn kernels can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the cornmeal. This will give you a fine, even texture that will help the nuggets stay together.
  • Add moisture to the mixture. This can be done with milk, eggs, or even mashed potatoes. The moisture will help the nuggets cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Season the nuggets well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other seasonings to taste, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Coat the nuggets in bread crumbs or cornmeal before frying. This will help them stay crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Fry the nuggets in hot oil until they are golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the nuggets will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Corn nuggets are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They can be made with a variety of ingredients and seasonings, so you can customize them to your own taste. Plus, they are easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give corn nuggets a try.
