Provided by The Hearty Boys

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 nuggets

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup crunchy corn cereal (recommended: Cap'n Crunch)
1 cup crispy rice cereal (recommended: Rice Krispies)
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
12 chicken tenders, halved
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups canola oil
Green Onion Honey Dip, recipe follows
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put the 2 cereals into a gallon-sized bag and seal. Place on a flat surface and, using a rolling pin, crush the cereal until it's still slightly chunky. Pour into a medium sized bowl and add the flour, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
  • Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, 1 at a time, and transfer to the breading mix. Coat well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Pour the oil into a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Test the oil by dropping a bread cube in; if it browns within 1 minute the oil is ready. Drop the chicken nuggets into the hot oil, 4 pieces at a time, and cook 2 minutes, or until the breading is golden and the chicken is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining chicken nuggets. Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
  • Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
