The Gourmet Butcher's Maple Chicken Nuggets

Print this recipe

Ingredients

1 cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (iodized salt tends to dry out the meat)
3 tablespoons red paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
stick of butter
1/2 cup of pure Vermont maple syrup (Grade B is best)

Preparation

1
Put everything into a ziplock bag and shake it up. Shake, shake it up, shake your b-o-o-t-y (disco music, bad dancing around your kitchen) This is your breading. Pour it into a bowl.
2
Next, cut up some boneless chicken breasts into ½ to ¾ inch chunks. These are your nuggets.
3
Place the nuggets into the breading bowl, roll ‘em around to cover thoroughly, then shake off any excess.
4
Lay the breaded nuggets on a baking sheet, and bake in a 400 degree F. oven for approximately 18 minutes (or until the chicken is just cooked)
5
Finally, into a saucepan place the butter and maple syrup. This MUST be real maple syrup – don’t you dare use that other stuff.
6
Put the saucepan over high heat till the butter melts and the maple syrup just begins to boil. Immediately turn down the heat to low and keep warm.
7
When the chicken nuggets are done, remove them from the oven and place into a big mixing bowl.
8
Pour the maple syrup mixture over them and stir everything up with a spoon until every last little nugget is well coated.
9
Let stand about 5 minutes
10
Stir again and serve.
