Ingredients and Recipe
Bread Crumbs/Potato Crisps – There are various brands of bread crumbs in the market. The most basic one
is from dawn breads; their bread crumbs have little seasoning in them so you`ll need to add your own spices if
you use this. There is a Turkish breadcrumb brand “Sultan” in the market now a days. Its porous, and hence it
makes the nuggets extra crispy. I personally prefer to use potato chips bag. The flavor of chips varies on my
mood. If I want spicy nuggets, I take Doritos or Cheetos red. Cheetos cheese should be use for a mild flavor.

Chicken – Any piece of skinless, boneless chicken will work. I like my chicken to be juicy and tender, so I
avoid using chicken breast. Make sure that chicken is cut into equal pieces (2-inch square or 1.5-inch squares).
