So I’ve mentioned before that I hate dealing with raw meat. It freaks me out. Most people would be much more concerned about working with boiling hot oil but not me and it’s not because I haven’t had my share of oil splatter bites.

Yet still, when it’s time to make something with raw meat I do everything I can to avoid messing with it. However, if you want to make really good, tender chicken nuggets there’s no way around it. I always get over it but I still hate doing it. I have to say that these were well worth it.

I also used these to solve the age-old problem of what to do with all of the mostly empty bags of chips after a dinner party. You know what I mean? Because you can’t use those pesky little crumbs at the bottom of the bag for dipping so your left with them. I hate throwing away perfectly good food so I decided to use it to make a crust for something. My family really likes chicken nuggets but there is nowhere nearby to get good ones so that was the obvious solution to my crumby situation.

I used a combination of crushed up crackers, potato chips, tortilla chips, and breadcrumbs to dress up these yummy little things and it was so good. All of the extra salt and seasoning falls to the bottom of the bag with the broken pieces and it adds a lot of flavor. The point is that you can bread chicken in any combination of these and the results are delicious. Next time I’m so doing pretzels or maybe even graham crackers, yum!

These are perfect to make for Superbowl season, summer barbecues, or anytime really! I know the guys will love them or they make a fun dinner that every kid will love. I made them with a side of veggies (That’s right, vegetables. Contrary to popular belief we do eat those from time to time.) and mashed potatoes and gravy.

Everyone loved them. I seriously made 4 batches and they were gone within a 24 hour period. 4 batches is a lot of chicken you guys. I spent forever frying them all so I should know. Yeah, they were gone.

Oh, and the honey mustard completes the whole thing if you are serving them as an appetizer or snack. I made it to go with the leftovers. There needs to be dipping. I should probably stop talking now if I expect you to have time to make these because you need to. Get creative with the breading. I’d love to hear what you try and how it turns out!
