Keto Chicken Nuggets
"Grain-free and paleo-friendly chicken nuggets that the whole family can enjoy. These chicken nuggets are tasty dipped in chili mayo, but you can use any other dipping to suit your tastes. Follow this easy recipe for a comforting chicken nugget dinner and save the leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. A simple mayo dip with a bit of chili powders goes well with these chicken nuggets. However, there are countless other dips you can use instead. Good examples include blue cheese dip, herbed cream cheese, low-carb ranch dressing, and avocado-mustard dip."
NotesWhen deep-frying these nuggets, make sure they’re evenly fried on all sides, turning them if necessary. Don’t fry the nuggets on high heat to avoid a burnt crust and undercooked nugget. If you want to avoid deep-fried food, these chicken nuggets can also be baked in the oven at 450 F for 5-8 minutes.
