Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breasts or chicken tenders boneless, skinless
- 100 g breadcrumbs gluten-free (you can use store-bought or make your own using gluten-free bread)
- 50 g Parmesan cheese grated (make sure it's gluten-free)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
- cooking oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil) for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts or tenders into bite-sized pieces. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
- Whisk the Eggs: In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere. Place the coated chicken nuggets on a plate or tray.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 2-3 centimeters (1 inch) of cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F). You can test the oil's readiness by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is hot enough.
- Fry the Chicken Nuggets: Carefully add the coated chicken nuggets to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of your nuggets.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken nuggets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve your homemade gluten-free chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.Enjoy your homemade gluten-free chicken nuggets!
