Don't be stuck with those expensive store-bought nuggets! Save money and your taste buds with The Best Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets Recipe. Make them ahead and freeze for quick dinners.
Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fat fryer to 350-375 degrees F.
While oil is heating in a bowl whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash.
In another bowl mix gluten free baking mix, seasoning salt, and pepper.
Take the cubed chicken pieces and coat them in the flour mix, then dip them in the egg mix, then back in the flour for a final coat. Do this with all of the chicken pieces. Set aside until oil is hot.
Once the oil is hot, drop the chicken into the oil one at a time careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may have to fry them in batches. Fry them until golden brown and cooked through, a couple minutes per side.
Drain them on a paper towel and serve.
Notes
Freezer Nuggets
You can fry these nuggets ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Just allow them to cool completely before putting them in a gallon Ziploc bag. When ready to cook, heat oven to 400 degrees and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 mins or until heated through.
