I love new recipes, so when our friend Shay shared this recipe with me, I knew you would LOVE it! Homemade CHICKEN NUGGETS! I’m getting a little giddy and my mouth is watering. Let’s not waste any time and let Shay take over!
Hi Ladies! I am excited to share another great recipe with you! Your family will love this recipe… especially your children! Hooray! We love when our kiddos want to eat, don’t we? And the best part? You will know every ingredient that is in them. Wonderful! Okay, are you ready? Here we go…
Start by cutting your chicken. Try to make your pieces uniform in size.
Marinate your chicken in the yogurt mixture. Marinate at least 4 hours…or up to 2 days! Whatever works with your schedule. I’m all about simplicity!
When your chicken is done marinating, you can roll the pieces around in flour individually, or use a plastic freezer bag. Fill it with flour and shake until the chicken is coated.
Next, is the frying. The oil is hot enough when it starts to have small bubbles. I tested out a few nuggets to make sure it was hot enough. Adjust your heat as needed. Your oil should NEVER smoke.
Place nuggets on a drying rack to cool. Make sure you put a cookie sheet underneath to catch any dripping oil.
Salt to taste. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Made this recipie with gluten free bread crumbs, EVOO, and it was a hit at the table.
annette says
I think if replaced the flour with crushed chex cereal and changed the oil to EVOO it would be considered gluten free
Neta says
Wow, I think I’ll try this one with Schar gluten free/wheat free bread crumbs. The texture is like flour and I used it to bake banana bread and quinoa. Trial and error, with a good recipie works allot for people that have to substitute for diet.
my honest answer says
Yum. I do something similar but with breadcrumbs instead of flour. Mainly to use up the ends of the bread as no-one in my house will eat it!
