Instructions
Cut chicken breasts into bite-size pieces, all about the same size
Mix together the herbs, spices and flours in the Seasonings/Coatings Mixture and transfer to a small plastic bag
Whisk the two eggs in a separate shallow dish
Dip each chicken nugget in the whisked eggs, and place in bag with coating mix
Gently shake bag to distribute mixture evenly over the chicken nuggets
Remove the coated nuggets from bag and tap each once to remove any excess seasoning mix
Pour about 1/4-inch of melted coconut oil into a frying pan and heat to medium
Carefully place about one-third of the chicken nuggets in the hot oil and fry about 2-3 minutes per side – or until cooked through and a light golden-brown color.
IMPORTANT: Fry nuggets in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan – repeat until all nuggets are cooked
Place nuggets on paper towels to drain
