Friday night is fast food night in our house. Clearly home made and not shop bought!
One of the boys favourites are chicken nuggets.
Although not very healthy they are fresh, crisp and gluten free.
Ingredients
1kg chicken breast, cut into pieces
4 tablespoons Cajun spice rub, I mix my own, the recipe will be in my next post
4 eggs
250mls buttermilk
600g gluten free flour
salt and pepper
oil to deep fry in
Method
In a large bowl combine the chicken and 1 tablespoon of the spice rub. Set aside.
In another bowl whisk the eggs, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the spice rub together.
In the final bowl combine the flour and 2 tablespoons of the rub.
Try to use only one hand, the phone will ring as soon as both hands are covered in eggy flour!
Take a piece of chicken, roll it in the flour, dip it in the egg mixture and roll it in the flour again.
Set aside, a baking sheet works well.
Once all of the chicken is coated heat your oil to around 180 degrees.
Cook in batches until golden brown.
Set aside on kitchen towel until ready to serve.
Serve with wedges and lots of tomato ketchup.
