Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! These are flavorful, juicy and crunchy and perfect for dipping in this 5-ingredient spicy garlic mayo!
I love crusted and battered chicken! It’s so good as an appetizer dipped in ketchup but I switched it up by baking these nuggets and making a garlic mayonnaise dip.
These were a hit and the batch was finished in no time! Jovin loved it. I made this with shrimp before and added it into tacos which was just as amazing. If you’re looked for another version of crusted fried chicken, this is it! I used crushed up corn flakes in this recipe which was surprisingly super delicious and made the crust extra golden brown!!
