PANKO CHICKEN NUGGETS
This is from the Food Network. My kids love chicken nuggets and, by making them myself, I know what's really in them. These are a little less fat too, and can be made even more so by using olive oil or cooking in the oven.

Steps:
- Whisk the egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Soak chicken pieces in egg mixture while you gather remaining ingredients. Meanwhile, in another shallow bowl combine panko with paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set a rack on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Lift chicken from buttermilk, letting excess liquid drain back into the bowl, then dip into panko and turn to coat on all sides.
- Carefully place chicken in oil and cook until they are golden and crispy and cooked through, about for 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the rack to cool.
- For those who want to make it healthier fry in extra virgin olive oil just enough to coat. You can also follow the recipe and place the coated nuggets on a cookie sheet and brush with the extra virgin olive oil and put in a 450' degree oven for about 10 minutes on each side. Watch them carefully as you want a golden brown, and, depending on your oven, times may vary. Lowfat buttermilk can also be used.
