Photo: Crunchy Chicken Nuggets with Green Onion Honey Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy corn cereal (recommended: Cap'n Crunch)
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal (recommended: Rice Krispies)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 12 chicken tenders, halved
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 1/2 cups canola oil
- Green Onion Honey Dip, recipe follows
Directions
Put the 2 cereals into a gallon-sized bag and seal. Place on a flat surface and, using a rolling pin, crush the cereal until it's still slightly chunky. Pour into a medium sized bowl and add the flour, salt and pepper and mix to combine.
Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, 1 at a time, and transfer to the breading mix. Coat well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pour the oil into a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Test the oil by dropping a bread cube in; if it browns within 1 minute the oil is ready. Drop the chicken nuggets into the hot oil, 4 pieces at a time, and cook 2 minutes, or until the breading is golden and the chicken is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining chicken nuggets. Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
Green Onion Honey Dip:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Yield: 1 1/4 cups

Dan and Steve are always truly Entertaining.I bought 2 copies of their 1st.book.This is a great,not too Sweet Chicken Nuggets recipe.I Believe it does appeal across to All Ages.Not huge amounts of Sugar to make Children too Busy minded,yet, a great taste.As an Adult,I enjoy the occasional Cap'n Crunch bowl of cereal.A dipping sauce for All.Just know Honey is not for Anyone under 2 years of age unless Pediatrician gives,"ok".

We made this recipe for a birthday party in which we had about 25 people. Everyone raved about the chicken, the dip wasn't really liked to well. I used about 11 lbs. of chicken and while everyone was full there was no more chicken left and people were still asking for more and for the recipe!

We used a personal deep fryer with no problems. My eight year old executed all of the steps on her own with litttle intervention--but I did supervise to ensure safety.
The result was tasty even for adults.
