Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900 g) chicken breasts, about 4, boneless, skinless
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cups (150 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) paprika
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pepper
- vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized chunks.
- In a large bowl, blend the coconut milk thoroughly. Add the chicken pieces to the coconut milk mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for 3 to 4 hours.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, powdered sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss in the marinated chicken chunks and shake the bag until the pieces are completely covered.
- In a large cast iron skillet or frying pan, pour in two inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high temperature.
- Once the oil reaches the right temperature, carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the pan. Fry the chicken in batches, flipping them once midway, until they turn a golden brown color.
- Remove the cooked chicken nuggets and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier option, consider air frying the chicken nuggets instead of deep frying in vegetable oil.
- Experiment with different seasonings or spices in the flour mixture to customize the flavor of the chicken nuggets.
- To ensure even cooking, ensure the chicken pieces are similar in size when cutting them into small chunks.
