Ingredients:
1 cup crunchy corn cereal (recommended: cap'n crunch) |
1 cup crispy rice cereal (recommended: rice krispies) |
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
12 chicken tenders, halved |
2 eggs, beaten |
2 1/2 cups canola oil |
green onion honey dip, recipe follows |
1 cup sour cream |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons chopped green onions |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Put the 2 cereals into a gallon-sized bag and seal. Place on a flat surface and, using a rolling pin, crush the cereal until it's still slightly chunky. Pour into a medium sized bowl and add the flour, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
2. Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, 1 at a time, and transfer to the breading mix. Coat well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Pour the oil into a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Test the oil by dropping a bread cube in; if it browns within 1 minute the oil is ready. Drop the chicken nuggets into the hot oil, 4 pieces at a time, and cook 2 minutes, or until the breading is golden and the chicken is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining chicken nuggets. Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
4. Green Onion Honey Dip:
5. Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Yield: 1 1/4 cups
