  • 1 cup flour*
  • 4 teaspoons seasoned salt (Lawry’s) plus additional for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 pounds raw chicken breast or tenderloins
  • 2 to 3 cups canola or vegetable oil
  1. CUT chicken into chunks.

  3. COMBINE the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  4. DREDGE a few handfuls of chicken at a time in the seasoned flour.
  5. ARRANGE the coated chicken on a large baking sheet. Divide the chicken into 4 or 5 batches.
  6. FRY each batch of chicken for 4 to 6 minutes. Turning once, until the juices are clear when cut with a knife.
  7. SPRINKLE nuggets with additional seasoned salt, if desired.
  8. CONFIDENCE GAINED!

*For a good gluten-free option, use chickpea flour from Winco or Ocean Mart in place of flour for frying. Reduce the temperature by 25°.
