Fried Chicken Strips/Nuggets
Ingredients
1 cup cracker crumbs
About 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken
LouAna Pure Coconut Oil 31.5 fl oz (or any other coconut
oil)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
½ cup milk
Ok, here's what you do…
1. Crush the crackers and set aside.
2. Prepare your chicken, cut away all the fat and icky
stuff. Cut the chicken into strips or nuggets. (You can also use ¼ cup Italian
dressing and 1 cup water to marinade the chicken overnight or for several hours).
3. Get three bowls/containers to use for breading/battering.
Here is how you get them ready.
Bowl 1
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon pepper
Mix
together
Bowl 2
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup
milk
Whisk
together so there are no lumps.
Bowl 3
1 cup
cracker crumbs (Ritz, Saltines, etc. you pick)
1/4 cup
flour
Mix
together
4. Toss the chicken one piece at a time into each bowl until
you have breaded/battered all of the chicken. Start with bowl one move to two,
and finish with bowl three.
5. Heat the coconut oil on medium heat in a Dutch oven (to
about 350 degrees, BTW I don’t’ check the temp but you can if you want). Use
metal tongs to place each piece of chicken in the oil. (If you drop the chicken
the oil splatters and ouch that hurts, been there done that!) Cook for about 5
minutes. (I save the oil and use it one more time.) Drain the chicken on a
napkin (or paper towel) covered plate.
Yummy, try this with homemade Ranch!
