Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

• 2 cups bite-size corn square cereal (such as Corn Chex)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup rice flour
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/4 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

Blend cereal in a blender or food processor until it has the consistency of bread crumbs; pour into a bowl.

Beat eggs in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour rice flour into a third bowl.

Dredge chicken pieces in the rice flour, dip in beaten egg, and then press into the cereal to coat. Keep breaded chicken on a large plate until all are finished, but do not stack.

Pour enough oil into a large skillet to just cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.

Cook chicken nuggets in hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
