Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 Boneless Chicken Breasts, trimmed and cut into nugget-sized pieces
Coating
- 1 cup Potato Chips, crushed (choose your favorite flavor)
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs, beaten
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Additional spices, as desired
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming the boneless chicken breast into nugget-sized pieces. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Set Up the Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and crushed potato chips. This assembly line will make the breading process smooth and efficient.
- Coat the Chicken: First, toss each nugget in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg wash, and finally, roll it in the crushed potato chips, ensuring an even coating.
- Fry the Nuggets: In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated nuggets into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Potato Chip Crusted Popcorn Chicken Nuggets!
Notes
- Temperature Check: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; this prevents the nuggets from becoming greasy.
- Crush the Chips: Use a rolling pin or your hands to crush the potato chips; smaller pieces adhere better to the chicken.
- Don’t Rush the Coating: Take your time coating each nugget; this ensures a crispy texture that won’t fall off during cooking.
- Experiment with Chips: Don’t hesitate to mix different flavors of chips for a unique taste experience.
- Keep it Fresh: Serve the nuggets immediately for the crispiest experience; they are best enjoyed right away.
