Healthy Chicken Nuggets


You can make these nuggets taste however you like simply by changing the spices!
We've given you the Jamaican Jerk seasoning but use whatever you like.
We've even made our version of KFC's secret seasoning.
They are awesome with our Homemade Tomato Sauce but our BBQ Sauce or Homemade Mayo are equally as good.
Hint: Chicken thigh does work a little better with these as you can cook it longer without it drying out.
Tip: Be sure to cook them at the higher heat to ensure they crisp up and the flour is cooked well.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of chickpea flour (Besan, Gram flour)
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 small pinch of cayenne pepper

1 tiny pinch of nutmeg
1 tiny pinch of cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
1 small pinch cracked pepper

3 teaspoons of cold pressed coconut oil

Method

  1. Mix flour and spices in a small bowl 
  2. Add chicken to the bowl and toss until completely coated.
  3. Heat the coconut oil in a pan to high (make sure it is fully at temperature to avoid the nuggets going soggy) and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is crisp.
