Recipe Tips
- These nuggets can also be oven-baked which is perfect if you are looking to avoid using too much oil. Simply bake in a preheated oven set to 200°C (395°F).
- You can add different seasonings to the almond mix for a different flavor crumbing. Experimenting is the best way to come up with a combo that you enjoy.
- If you are ever worried about under-cooking chicken, then a meat thermometer always comes in handy. Once the internal temperature passes 75°C (165°F), it should be safe to eat.
