Super crispy and still healthy? Yes, exactly!​

​

There ​are so many foods that are considered fast food and unhealthy because of the way they are commonly prepared. That is also the case with chicken nuggets and that is why I stopped eating them a long time ago. As a kid, I remember it was a once in a month or so treat. However, my mom bought them in the store and fried on a pan with just a little oil. So they were not that unhealthy, but also not healthy. Those store bought chicken nuggets tend to have nothing to do with real chicken meat, it is mostly just some by-products or waste that is grinded into this smooth mince (or paste like I would call it) and that´s it. When I realized or well, when I heard about that, I didn´t feel like eating them anymore :D 

​

For ​such a long time I have been looking for a way to bring those delicious little dipping goods back into my life.. I have been craving them so bad, but I really wanted them to be perfect. There were many trial recipes with bread crumbs and with some oli drizzled on the baking trey, which both were resulting in quite delicious nuggets, but the crispy crunchy outer layer was missing. 

​

We have used cornflakes already before while making this kind of crispy layer for meat, but somehow I never thought of using it for nuggets. Would you believe me if I would tell you that in the end the successful recipe was born by an accident? :D Yes, I did plan the cornflakes, as otherwise I would have not had any at home as we don´t eat them just like that. But what I did not plan was the way I crushed the cornflakes and the way I forgot the oil.. :D I wanted to be ready faster, so I took a plastic bag, threw in some cornflakes and just crushed them with my hands, just a little so I get some finer crumb and some larger. Yeah, lets just leave it like that, it should work :) Then while filming I was so concentrated with getting all the separate steps filmed that I forgot the oil before arranging the chicken nuggets over a baking trey.. Oh well, lets just make them without oil and see what happens.. 

​

It is unbelievable how these two things resulted in what I have been looking for for such a long time! I have tried and tried, and the one day I don´t and even more, forget half of what I wanted to do, it works like magic. Funnily enough I am both happy and a bit frustrated! :D Maybe I should just not try and it will magicly work every single time.. :) Naaah! Better not dream silly :D

​

The jokes aside, it was so amazing to finally get what I was looking for and in such a healthy form, oven baked and with no fat or oil included whatsoever. I am so excited and I really really want you to try it out, because I am sure you will be smiling once you take that first crunchy bite :) 

​

I used quite a lot of different seasoning for this recipe, but if you don´t have some of it available, just improvise and use whatever you like :)

Keep It Healthy Lovelies!
