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

I turned this recipe into a great father and daughter project.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Birthday Party
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for my family and we all loved them. I then made them for my daughter's first birthday party. Two people left... the party with the recipe. It has a sweet taste and reminds my family of Chik fil A. No it is not exactally like the restaurants but that same look and sweet taste is similar. Read more

Best chicken nuggets ever
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These taste great. I like to omit the "crisped rice cereal" and add a little red pepper, but the recipe is great. I just... wish it were a little easier, but that's because I'm not good at breading.Read more

Yes to the chicken, no to the dip
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought the chicken tenders were excellent, however I wasn't too cracked on the dip. The honey, salt and sour cream... together just tasted gross to me.Read more
