Paula Deen's Chicken Nuggets

juniperwoman's Note:

These look wonderful and easy because they're baked, not fried, and they get their flavor from sour-cream-and-onion-flavored potato chips. What an idea! Paula says to serve them with her Honey Mustard Sauce, which I have also posted. She also says that they can be frozen after baking.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 2 cups crushed sour cream and onion potato chips

• 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spread the crushed potato chips in a shallow dish. Beat together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken cubes into the egg mixture and then dredge them in the chips.
3. Place the chicken nuggets on a baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.

I made these into more like strips then nuggets and used bbq flavored potato chips instead of sour cream and onion. They were pretty good..crunchy coating and the meat was moist. I think next time I may try them with plain potato chips. Oh! I just realized I forgot to drizzle the melted butter on them! Well, that might make them taste different. I'll have to remember that step for next time. Thanks for posting!
