Slightly Kicking Chicken Nuggets

Does anyone remember these?

Well, a reader recently requested this, and I admit, although it wasn't my own, I'll let you know of my modifications to this. I did find three recipes to which I ended up merging. Here's my recent knowledge of these secretly spiked up nuggets! I'll stop talking, grab your shovels and get ready to form these nuggets!

Slightly Kicking Nuggets

(modified from a post from SparkPeople and research)
Makes about 25 pieces.
Prep time: 10-20 mins
Cook time: 30 mins

4-6 chicken breast fillets (dep. on size)
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1/4 tsp. Onion powder
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. Paprika
1/4-1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 Eggs, beaten
1 C. of Flour (I used Self-rising, which was saltier, and mixed ~1/4 C. Whole Wheat flour)
1 slice of bread, toasted and crumbled

Grab out your food processor and blend these chicken breast well. (Alternatively, pulse for 5-10 seconds for a chewy, slightly crumbled feel and skip to breading) When they're ground up well, season to taste. Then, refrigerate or freeze. Meanwhile, prepare the breading by combining flours and spices in a large bowl/plate. Crack and whisk eggs in a separate smaller bowl.

Prepare a pot (or pan, if you're pan-frying!) and fill with oil and start heating it up. You can use as much oil as you'd like, but note that while you can fry so many nuggets, you'd have to wait longer for it to heat up. Although baking is a healthier alternative,

Now take out the nuggets mixture and prepare to shape! I made them into round balls, akin to a munchkin, but next time, I'd round them and flatten to make it easier to eat. It's finger food, after all!

Breading time! I used flour, but feel free to experiment with Panko crumbs, corn flakes, or even Cap'n Crunch! Yep, apparently, Chicken Crunch can be found at Florida Planet Hollywood! I triple quadruple-coated-- doing batches off egg-flour-egg-flour or flour-egg-flour-egg. Since the flour (+bread crumbs) was a light coating, it would amount to much calories as compared to Corn Flakes. The many layers kept it crispy and served as a barrier from oil. If you're searching for a heavier crunch, you might want to replace the flours for cereal.

Once the oil is hot, pop them in and cook for about a minimum of 15-20 mins. I would recommend checking the temperature, but if not, make sure it's golden brown before slicing in for a sample!

I can't wait to see your twists on this. Again, I'd probably pulse less if I don't want a dense nugget!
