My kids said it themselves: these nuggets beat fast food hands down! Chicken thighs marinated in buttermilk, blended into a smooth paste, a panko and parmesan coating that crunches when you bite in, then fried to a perfect golden brown. Dipped in a homemade maple mustard sauce, it’s pure happiness.<\/p>\n
The panko is crushed in the blender with parmesan, smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder until it turns into fine crumbs. Parmesan is flavorful, salty and delicious, and it gives a golden crust you’ll never find in a box. The cornstarch in the flour helps the coating stay crispy.<\/p>\n
That’s THE lesson I learned making these: the chicken has to be processed finely, finely, finely, until it turns into a paste. That’s what gives you a real nugget texture, tender and even inside. Once it’s ground, you season it again with herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. With fries and coleslaw, it’s the dinner everyone agrees on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
