Method:
- Cut chicken of the wood into nugget size pieces.
- Set 3 bowls out and add flour to the first. you will need enough flour to dip all the nuggets in. Season flour with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
- In the second bowl, crack two eggs and whisk.
- In the third bowl put bread crumbs in.
- I tend to deep fry mine but you could oven cook. — whilst the oil is heating, dip COTW in the flour then the egg, followed by the bread crumbs. If you have a lot do in small batches and put on some kitchen roll once golden to soak up oil.
- Tips or extra notes: Don’t over-flour at first as the egg won’t stick.
