Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb of Chicken Sausage
  • 1 Cup of Flour
  • 1 Cup of Breadcrumbs
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Tsp. Salt
  • 2 Tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tsp. Thyme
  • 2 Tsp. Black Pepper
  • Peanut Oil or Coconut Oil

Method
 

  1. Remove the chicken from the sausage casing. Form them into 2 to 3 inch wide discs.
  2. Dip them in the flour, then dip in the eggs, then dip in the breadcrumbs, repeat. Place on a piece of parchment paper or a wire rack to allow the coating to stick to the sausage.
  3. You can choose to deep fry or pan fry these. I pan fried them. In a cast iron skillet or deep pan, pour about a cup of peanut oil into the pan.
  4. Heat the oil, make sure it's hot before you place your nuggets into the oil. Test by flicking some flour into the oil, when it begins to crackle you know it's hot enough.
  5. Carefully place your nuggets into the oil a few at a time. Be careful not to overload the pan, this will bring the temperature of your oil down causing your nuggets to take longer to cook and to be greasy.
  6. Fry the nuggets on both sides, then place on a rimmed baking sheet, when all of your frying is done, bake the nuggets in the oven at 300 for 30 minutes to cook through.
  7. Then serve and enjoy!
