PAULA DEEN'S CHICKEN NUGGETS

These look wonderful and easy because they're baked, not fried, and they get their flavor from sour-cream-and-onion-flavored potato chips. What an idea! Paula says to serve them with her Honey Mustard Sauce, which I have also posted. She also says that they can be frozen after baking.

SWEET CHICKEN BACON WRAPS (PAULA DEEN)



Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps (Paula Deen) image

Hey you Paula Deen fans, she has a new magazine, "Cooking with Paula Deen"--this recipe is from the premier issue. It was so yummy looking, I couldn't wait to try it. I added another 15 minutes to the cooking time suggested (30-35 minutes) and It was just right, but oven temperatures vary, so check on it during the last few minutes of cooking time. I'm also going to add a few dashes of cayenne pepper next time for something hot and sweet!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 12-15 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (1 lb) package sliced bacon
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
  • Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick inserted on the diagonal starting where bacon seam overlaps.
  • Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture.
  • Coat a rack and broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken on rack in broiler pan.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until bacon is crisp.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts to ensure that the nuggets are tender and juicy. If using chicken with bones or skin, remove them before cutting the chicken into pieces.
  • To achieve a crispy coating, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and spices. This mixture will help the nuggets brown evenly and give them a delicious crunch.
  • The buttermilk marinade helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it a slightly tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to preheat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the nuggets. The ideal temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is too hot, the nuggets will burn; if it's too cold, they won't cook through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the nuggets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the nuggets will not cook evenly. Fry the nuggets in batches if necessary.
  • Drain the nuggets on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving. This will help to keep them crispy.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Chicken Nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a crispy coating, tender and juicy chicken, and a slightly tangy flavor, these nuggets are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give these nuggets a try. You won't be disappointed!
