Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets
Here is a fun gluten-free treat to make for lunches or quick grab snacks. Put on your apron and put you little one up to the counter, these nuggets are easy and tasty! Always feel free to adapt and create your own variety of this recipe.
In a large bowl mix together:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 gloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- any spices you prefer, I used 3 Tb, minced cilantro, a dash of onion powder and curry
In a smaller bowl crush about 3 good handfuls of corn or rice chips (preferably non-GMO) as finely as you can with the bottom of a jar. Or crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. You should have about 1 1/2 cups worth of crushed chips. Add additional sea salt to this mixture if desired.
Preheat your skillet on medium to medium high heat with 2 Tb coconut oil and 2 Tb tallow. While waiting for the skillet to heat, stir two eggs together in a small bowl. Prepare an assembly line in order to first shape small nuggets with the ground chicken mixture, next dunk the nuggets into the egg mixture and then dip thoroughly into the crushed chips. Finally place each nugget onto the skillet and allow to cook until browned and crispy on each side about 5 min. Keep the little ones far away from the skillet, maybe near the chicken mixture.
Set fried nuggets onto a paper towel until all nuggets are cooked. Enjoy with mustard or another naturally fermented or cultured dip, such as homemade Ranch dressing made with herbs and raw creme fraiche. Store in freezer or fridge and heat by re-frying them in more coconut oil or tallow. Please note: fried foods as well as corn/rice chips should be eaten as an ocassional treat. The high cooking temperatures used in making both fried foods as well as chips causes the foods to become difficult for our bodies to digest.
i am into Gluten-Free diet because i am allergic to gluten. when baking bread, i always use Guar Gum or Xanthan Gum
Yes, both Guar Gum and Xanthan Gum helped form nice baked goods. However, they are not necessary for this recipe. The egg seems to stick quite well to the chip mixture.
Thanks for you comment!
