Corn Flake Chicken Nuggets image

I saw Emeril prepare this on The Rosie O'Donnel Show as a kid friendly recipe. I think it is grown-up friendly too!

Provided by Richard-NYC

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into nuggets
1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1 cup corn flakes, coarsely crushed
1 dash garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and BBQ sauce in bowl.
  • Crush corn flakes in zipper bag.
  • Season with garlic powder.
  • Shake sauce coated chicken a couple of pieces at a time in zipper bag with crushed corn flakes Bake on baking sheet at 350 for 25 minutes or until done.
  • Serve with BBQ sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your nuggets the best flavor. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your nuggets tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to fry the nuggets without burning them. The ideal temperature for frying is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will cause the nuggets to stick together and not cook evenly. Fry the nuggets in batches if necessary.
  • Drain the nuggets on paper towels. This will help to remove excess oil from the nuggets.
  • Serve the nuggets immediately. Corn nuggets are best served hot and crispy. You can also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Corn nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic fair food right in your own home.
