My six year old planned tonight's menu. (her brother planned tomorrow night's) So in honor of the last day of summer vacation we are having homemade chicken nuggets, deep fried corn nuggets, green beans and mashed potatoes. She wanted grilled okra, too, but I don't have any okra today.
For the Chicken Nuggets, I will cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite sized pieces and bread them with shake n bake or oven fry or one of those type coatings. Usually the package has instructions. For the grownups, I make a buffalo style sauce made with hot sauce, garlic powder, chili powder and honey, mix all in a pan and bring to a boil. Toss the nuggets to coat.
For the Corn Nuggets, which are her very favorite, I mix up a package of Jiffy cornbread and add enough corn (whole, cream or a combination to suit you) to make the mix primarily corn, and a little (about 1/2 c) extra sugar. You almost can't get them too sweet. When you have a stiff dough, drop them in hot oil and fry till crispy and done. She like them dipped in sweet and sour sauce, but they are good in honey mustard, ketchup or just plain.
Enjoy your last day of break and have a great school year.
