Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Chicken Nuggets with Apricot Sauce.
Step 1
Start by cracking an egg into a bowl and whisk it together with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of ground black pepper to create a flavorful coating.
Step 2
In another bowl, pour in the crushed crispy rice cereal, which will give your chicken nuggets that delightful crunch.
Step 3
Take each piece of chicken and first dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated, then press it firmly into the cereal until it’s completely covered.
Step 4
This step is key for that irresistible texture! Next, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil and a pat of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, gently add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook them, stirring occasionally, for about seven minutes or until the coating turns a beautiful golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
While the chicken is sizzling away, grab a saucepan and combine apricot preserves with a splash of water.
Step 8
Whisk them together over medium-low heat until the mixture is warm and smooth, which should take just 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Finally, plate your crispy chicken nuggets and serve them alongside the warm apricot sauce for dipping.
Step 10
This sweet and savory combination is sure to be a hit, making your meal not just delicious but also a fun experience! Enjoy every bite!.
