Chicken nuggets

Yep. You guessed it, I have been sitting on these photos for a while. I have no cooked picture of the nuggets because the husband hasn't made any to eat yet. When he does, I will post it. They're currently sitting in our freezer.
Homemade chicken nuggets are good because of 3 things:
1. they're cheaper to make
2. you know what bits of meat are going in
3. you can make them as spicy as you want (or with any other flavourings)

You need: chicken breasts (I always buy free range so we had a happy chicken), flour, milk, breadcrumbs and seasonings. I used a pack of 2 chicken breasts and I got almost 85 nuggets. You can use the same recipe for schnitzel.

Marinade your chicken with whatever seasoning you want. I used red chilli powder and salt.I had to bash my chicken breasts a little. I put cling film over them and used a pestle.

And then you cut it up (sorry for starting a sentence with "and").

When that is all done, season the flour and breadcrumbs with salt and pepper (ar anything else). Then put the milk, flour and breadcrumbs in different bowls like so...

 

Now the fun begins! Dip the chicken in the flour.

Then the milk.

 Then the breadcrumbs.

I dip it back in milk then breadcrumbs again. This can make a tremedous mess, make sure you have a "wet hand" and a "dry hand". Use the wet hand to dip in milk, and the dry for the flour and breadcrumbs.

I put them on wax paper in layers and froze them.
