Crunchy Chicken Nuggets with Green Onion Honey Dip
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Yield: 1 1/4 cups
