Gnome and Goblin Ear Gnuggets

The other night I made teriyaki chicken and had some left over chicken. It was enough to make a bunch of large chicken nuggets. They weren't quite strips. When I fried them up they reminded me of Gnome and Goblin ears.

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, cut in half then in slices
1 c. flour
1 packet of hidden valley ranch dip seasoning
Vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 tbsp milk

Put flour on a plate and mix with the ranch dip seasoning until blended.

Heat oil. Set to medium heat and watch so it doesn't burn. Burning oil = bad.

Take eggs, crack into bowl, mix in milk until a pale yellow

Dump chicken into bowl and stir with fork until coated well. Then take chicken piece by piece and drop it into the flour. Spoon flour over all sides of chicken. Using another fork or tongs, pick the chicken up and set into oil.

You will want to watch the chicken very carefully. Turn it once the coating is a nice golden brown. It will take about seven minutes to cook on both sides. Take chicken from frying pan and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Tada!

Dress-up Chef Tip: Place a sheet of aluminum foil under the paper towel to make less of a mess cleaning up the grease. Also... let oil cool before dumping into anything, especially plastic colanders. See picture below. Yes you may laugh. I did.
