Chicken Nugget Night

If you are familiar with Seacobeck’s meal schedule, then you know Friday nights are typically chicken nugget night. I thought I would stick with the tradition, except a homemade version of chicken nuggets. This version has very few ingredients and does not require deep frying (so much healthier).

Ingredients:

About 1 pound of chicken tenders (cut to nugget size)

Salt&Pepper

3 tablespoons cornmeal (I used white cornmeal)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Dipping sauce of your choice

Preparation:

Prepare chicken tenders (cut off excess fat, cut to nugget size)

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper





Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat

Dip chicken in cornmeal covering all sides of the nugget

Place nuggets in skillet and let sit until starting to cook underside

Flip nuggets in skillet from side to side until golden brown and cooked all the way through (no pink meat)

Ready to serve with your favorite dipping sauce







Tips: Make sure you really layer the cornmeal on the nuggets. If need be, sprinkle more cornmeal on the nuggets while cooking in the skillet. Some of the breading will come off while cooking. Salt and pepper to your desired taste.

Enjoy!
