Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast cleaned and cubed into nugget sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk. If you don't have buttermilk. Take a tbsp of vinegar and put it into 1/2 a cup of milk. In 5 mins it will curdle and voila...buttermilk!
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs I used a mix of zesty and plain. You can do just plain if preferred
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 egg whip it and set aside for the coating process

Instructions

  1. Soak the chicken in the buttermilk for about 10 minutes
  2. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees
  3. Place in separate bowls a) The breadcrumbs mixed with pepper b) The whipped egg c)The soaked chicken nuggets in buttermilk
  4. Begin the coating process, in this order: Dip the buttermilk doused chicken nugget into the egg with one hand and coat the nugget in the breadcrumb mixture with the other hand.
  5. Place the coated nuggets on a foil covered pan (or a greased pan)
  6. Pop your tray into the oven for 15-20 mins.
  7. Pull the tray out once you see the nuggets turning a golden brown color.
  8. Enjoy!
