Tips & Tricks
Cooking tips
When deep-frying these nuggets, make sure they’re evenly fried on all sides, turning them if necessary. Don’t fry the nuggets on high heat to avoid a burnt crust and undercooked nugget. If you want to avoid deep-fried food, these chicken nuggets can also be baked in the oven at 450 F for 5-8 minutes.
Making dips
A simple mayo dip with a bit of chili powders goes well with these chicken nuggets. However, there are countless other dips you can use instead. Good examples include blue cheese dip, herbed cream cheese, low-carb ranch dressing, and avocado-mustard dip.
