Crispy Ranch Chicken Nuggets

By ghudsontx

Ingredients

• 1 package dry ranch dressing seasoning mix
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional I like to add it in, you may adjust amount)
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (or use white salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 small boneless chicken breasts (cut into about 1-ich cubes)
• oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Have all your chicken pieces breaded and on a plate before starting to fry.

In a bowl combine the ranch dressing mix with panko bread crumbs, cayenne, salt and black pepper.

In a second bowl whisk the egg.

In a third bowl add in the flour.

Firstly dredge the chicken cubes into flour, then into beaten egg (allowing excess to drip off) and lastly into the panko breadcrumb mixture.

Pour oil into a heavy skillet to a depth of 2-inches, then heat to 360 degrees F.

Fry the chicken nuggets in batches for about 5 minutes or until cooked through (these will not take long to cook).
