Healthy Chicken Nugget Recipe (Paleo and Gluten Free!)

hey what's up y'all I'll make a fried chicken but it's looting free how could that be tasty let me show you what's up let's get started alright so it's real simple it's real quick I have tenderloins chicken tenderloins makes it easier for the cut I'm gonna make more like a chicken nugget cuz it's quicker a little more crispy ER and you know it's all about that quick shot in the kitchen right when you ain't got the time you got to hook it up make it quick all right so I'm gonna chop up this chicken real fast and then you know wow you're chopping the chicken you could have your oil heating up I use an avocado oil because then you can get it really hot without burning the oil it's a good fat now normally they say don't fry stuff you know if you do whatever so once in a while give the IE but again do what you feel best fits you but this is more of a healthier version of fried chicken but it's still tasty I will stand with cutting this chicken alright cool so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put it in my ball now next step out my seasoning I'm gonna wash my hands and I'll show you the next step all right so now I'm gonna season my meat now I'm all about the seasonings you just want to be a little careful with the salt because you don't want it too salty and that will take away from the flame temp so I add oregano kind of a garlic herb mix with no salt again I I get crazy with the seasoning that's all seasoning right and it doesn't hurt to get it off flavorful so seasoned up my meat I'm gonna add my egg to it okay now all right good look extra strong but it whoo all right so you not get a little dirty with it but I'm gonna add some of the seasoning to my flour as well cuz again it's all about that flavor right who wants more on food no I don't so something my mother used to always do she would fry up chicken and chick cold chicken is good right so anytime you have some chicken you can always put it to the side just let it breathe so the Chris penis is still there you can always reheat it in the oven so that's really good the Nuggets the meat is already cooked really well so if you go to reheat it and be mindful because you don't want to really dry it out and that's just something to be careful about but other than that it's just really delicious and tasty so I'm gonna get a little dirty with it I'm gonna mix it now this hand is clean cuz I'm gonna put the oil in my pan but I'm letting it heat up so as it's heating up I'm doing my mixture and the egg is what's gonna allow the flour to adhere to the meat and it gives it more of a little bit more of a body and I do my chicken strips with the egg but if I do bone-in type of meat with the skin I normally don't add egg you just add the flour you could do a web edit but that'll be another time all right cool that's mixed let me add my oil now I'm gonna do an avocado oil the see how much skill I got I have my oil the pan is hot now these are Nuggets right so we're gonna turn them only once what's up with that oil get hot remember you want the oil hot before you add the meat because once you add the meat inside it's gonna bring the temperature down a little bit and it'll prevent it from getting a good crisp if it gets down to low and then you're gonna be sitting there and then absorb the oil so the hotter it is the more crisp the meat gets and the less absorption is gonna take not at least that's what I was raised to believe I don't know if it's true any scientist out there go ahead and research that but first would I know make sure it's hot get a good crisp and then is what you want to do all right I think it's ready so I'm gonna go ahead I have my flour mixture right here and it's really tapioca flour which is a gluten free so it's a little bit of a different texture now that's now ready yep no worries don't stress I'm gonna go ahead and let it kick it there once you see the flour kind of bubbling and getting a little bit more yeah just a bubbling around it you know that tells you is getting hotter and then you can add the rest but again don't keep adding it cuz we don't we want the temperature to go up all right so now I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna put it in the oil my kids actually love this chicken remember y'all you're gonna flip it once so you want to be strategic on the way you lay it in the pan got room in there we don't want to overcrowd it as well same concept as allowing ventilation that happens so around the chicken can evenly cooked get all nice and crispy also it doesn't bring the temperature down too crazy and kind of keep it nice and out of temperature that it will get crispy for you we're kind of pushing it to the side if you need a little bit of room you know it's not really touchy or should I want even though term but spit it in there give it some room around it alright cool that's plenty for now let it kick it when you start seeing the end around the edges get brown that's when you want to go ahead and flip it now if you're not too sure what you're looking at no worries go ahead and just gently you know I can get some tongs and go ahead and just check it out and see you know lift it a little bit and see if it's kind of browning on that side and then just place it right back in the same spot okay all right cool so we don't let that kick it fry it and then I'm going to show you the beautiful presentation when it's bent so remember y'all make the listening white-looking this won't take but a few seconds to get it on that side more like a shallow fry elicit now a lot of times I'll have this with for the right stuff in I'll do that in another video delicious red beans and rice with a good salad some greens kale the delicious kale recipe with smoked turkey legs delicious anyway kids will love it a good little quick shot is ready taking these out the hosts are gonna pick this out absorb some of that oil delicious right now the tapioca flour doesn't get crazy dark like normal flour says when you when you find a chicken you would think so this is completely cooked nice and crispy got a pretty color to it am I looking a little young but as good as just write that on your paper setups or excess oil I'm go ahead and give him a little extra flip and then how pretty that is that's what I'm talking about yeah okay so I'm gonna plate this up and a lot of times you know some of my kids I'll have some chicken with some ketchup and I found this ketchup because a lot of times I don't want to make it myself so I found this really cool ketchup at sprouts I ain't really you know sponsored by them but

Video Description:

Once in awhile you need a special treat, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on your diet. If you're gluten free or Paleo, this healthy chicken nugget recipe is soul satisfying but substitutes tapioca flour for the typical white flour breading.

Like I say in the video, this healthy chicken nugget recipe will only turn out right if you get the oil really hot before you start cooking. If the oil isn't warm enough, it will absorb into your tapioca flour instead of frying it.

The ketchup I mention toward the end is from Primal Kitchen. It's unsweetened and you can add some hot sauce if you want a little kick!

Healthy Chicken Nugget Recipe (Paleo and Gluten Free)

Ingredients:

2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts cut into bite-size pieces
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp course pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
3 eggs scrambled
1 cup tapioca flour
Avocado oil for frying
Instructions

Directions:

Cut chicken breast into small, bite-size pieces. Season chicken with seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Place tapioca flour in a shallow dish or pie plate.

Scramble eggs and mix in with chicken.

Heat 2 to 3 inches of coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Using a thermometer, watch for it to reach 350 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, put a little of the flour in the skillet and if it sizzles, then it’s hot enough.

Coat chicken in flour and place chicken in hot avocado oil.

Cooking in batches, cook several chicken pieces at a time. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once. The chicken should be golden brown when it's done, but it won't be as deep of a color as if you were using regular flour.

Place chicken on a paper towel-lined plate or rack to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
