Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 Boneless Chicken Breasts, trimmed and cut into nugget-sized pieces

Coating

  • 1 cup Potato Chips, crushed (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 Eggs, beaten

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Additional spices, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming the boneless chicken breast into nugget-sized pieces. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and crushed potato chips. This assembly line will make the breading process smooth and efficient.
  3. Coat the Chicken: First, toss each nugget in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg wash, and finally, roll it in the crushed potato chips, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Fry the Nuggets: In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated nuggets into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Potato Chip Crusted Popcorn Chicken Nuggets!

Notes

  • Temperature Check: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; this prevents the nuggets from becoming greasy.
  • Crush the Chips: Use a rolling pin or your hands to crush the potato chips; smaller pieces adhere better to the chicken.
  • Don’t Rush the Coating: Take your time coating each nugget; this ensures a crispy texture that won’t fall off during cooking.
  • Experiment with Chips: Don’t hesitate to mix different flavors of chips for a unique taste experience.
  • Keep it Fresh: Serve the nuggets immediately for the crispiest experience; they are best enjoyed right away.
