Method

All the ingredients of the chicken nuggets recipe laid out

Step 1:

The first step in making these chicken nuggets is to combine the garlic, onion, chilli powder, smoked paprika, pepper, thyme, and salt in a shallow bowl with 50g of the White Wings Premium Batter Mix.

Now is also a great time to heat the deep fryer using Crisco Liquid Gold.

Mixing the spices together

Step 2:

Once all of the spices have been mixed together, add in the chicken. Toss together until the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 3:

Prepare the remaining batter mix as per the instructions on the packet. Then, add the chicken to the batter mix.
