CHICKEN NUGGETS
I like to make these golden chicken nuggets because they're so quick and easy. My whole family loves them. You can also use the seasoning to cook chicken breast halves. Stack them on rustic bread with mayo, lettuce and tomato for delicious sandwiches. -Annette Ellyson, Carolina, West Virginia

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results.
- Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts or thighs with a meat mallet helps to tenderize them and makes them more evenly cooked.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique flavor of chicken nuggets. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken evenly: Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings and flour mixture before frying.
- Fry the chicken in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the chicken is added. This helps to create a crispy crust on the outside of the nuggets.
- Drain the chicken on paper towels: After frying, drain the chicken nuggets on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Chicken nuggets are traditionally served with ranch dressing, but you can also try other dipping sauces such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or sweet and sour sauce.
