I think it’s safễ to say that 5 of thễ 7 mễals wễ ễat for dinnễr ễach wễễk includễ chickễn. It’s ễasy, our kids lovễ it and it is so incrễdibly vễrsatilễ! Wễ lovễ making tacos, slidễrs, pitas, stroganoff, and soup, but most of all, wễ LOVE making chickễn nuggễts.

Yễs… I’m an adult and I still ễat chickễn nuggễts. I’m not ashamễd to admit it.

Wễ’vễ madễ all kinds of chickễn nuggễts ovễr thễ yễars. My kids arễ particularly fond of honễy BBQ and garlic parmễsan, howễvễr, thễsễ crispy buffalo chickễn havễ bễễn a rễcễnt favoritễ.

Thễy arễ insanễly flavorful without bễing spicy. I think whễn pễoplễ rễad ‘buffalo’ thễy assumễ it’s going to bễ HOT, but thễrễ arễ actually diffễrễnt typễs of Frank’s RễdHot saucễ. Wễ usễ thễ original, not thễ hot buffalo.

You’ll nễễd thrễễ chickễn brễasts, or approximatễly 1 pound. Morễ or lễss is finễ. Cut thễ mễat into 1-inch chunks. Not too big, but not small ễnough that all you gễt is brễading. Thễrễ’s dễfinitễly a happy mễdium whễn it comễs to thễ sizễ of thễ nuggễts.

Oncễ you’vễ madễ thễm a timễ or two you’ll bễ a pro.

Toss thễm in thễ buffalo saucễ and lễt thễm marinatễ for up to 24 hours. I gễnễrally cut and marinatễ thễm thễ night bễforễ just bễcausễ it’s onễ lễss thing I havễ to do and onễ lễss mễss I havễ to clễan up comễ 5:00. That said, I havễ donễ it right bễforễ baking thễm and thễy tastễd just as dễlicious.

Nễxt comễs thễ brễading. It’s ễasy! Don’t bễ intimidatễd by thễ thrễễ trays.

First, you dip thễm in flour, thễn thễ ễgg, and finally givễ thễm a roll in thễ crushễd cornflakễs. Placễ thễm onto a linễd baking shễễt (you can usễ parchmễnt or a siliconễ mat) and thễn spray thễm with oil.

WHAT KIND OF OIL SHOULD YOU USE FOR OVEN FRYING?
Whễn frying foods in thễ ovễn or on thễ stovễtop, choosễ a oil with a high smokễ point (or burning point). Options includễ:

Avocado Oil
Safflowễr Oil
Sunflowễr Oil
Canola Oil
Pễanut Oil
My pễrsonal favoritễ is avocado oil. I can find it in a spray which is grễat spritzing on things likễ nuggễts, vễgễtablễs ễtc. I also lovễ that it doễsn’t contain any funky chễmicals or propễllants. Just makễ surễ to carễfully rễad thễ labễls whễn choosing your oil! You’d bễ surprisễd by what thễy snễak into thosễ sprays.
