Homemade Chicken Nuggets

So the other day I was really craving chicken nuggets and was about to go to McDonald's until I remembered an article I saw awhile ago about what exactly goes into those McNuggets. Here is a leaner and healthier alternative- homemade chicken nuggets!


What you'll need:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 eggs
1 cup All-Purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 cups oil

1. Heat oil in skillet on medium heat. I used vegetable oil.


2. Cut up chicken breasts into little cubes.


3. Add chicken, oregano, onion powder, pepper, parsley flakes, and salt to food processor. Blend until chicken becomes a paste.


4. Roll paste into ping-pong sized balls.


5. Beat eggs in small bowl. Spread flour onto plate.


6. Roll each ball once in flour, once in egg, and again in flour.


7. Squish ball to form a nugget shape. Squishy squishy!


8. Sprinkle a little bit of flour into the skillet. If it bubbles really quickly, it means your oil is ready! Put as many chicken nuggets as you can into the skillet. Careful though cause the oil can jump out at you and it hurts a lot! Fry each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.


9. Remove nuggets and put on a towel-lined plate to soak up the excess oil. Pull out your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
