ingredients

Chicken nuggets

  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 24 ounces buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 cups gluten free bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Chicken nuggets

  • Step 1

    Cut chicken cutlets into about 1" pieces (nugget sized)

  • Step 2

    Pour buttermilk in a bowl, and whisk in hot sauce. Add chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to over night.

  • Step 3

    Toast breadcrumbs in non-stick pan on medium heat until golden brown. Once they start to brown, remove from heat and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet- toss with salt and pepper while still warm. Set aside until ready to use.

  • Step 4

    Preheat oven to 375. Use tongs to remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off excess. Toss through breadcrumbs to coat, pressing in gently to assure crumbs sticking.

  • Step 5

    Place chicken pieces on a baking sheet with a wire rack (this allows nuggets to crisp on all sides)

  • Step 6

    Spray or drizzle with avocado oil. Bake for 8-12 minutes, until chicken has cooked through, and breadcrumbs are golden brown. (broil for 1-2 minutes if needed)

  • Step 7

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with kosher salt while still warm. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
