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:

Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Yield: 1 1/4 cups

    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.
