| Mark Nuggets, French fries, and honey mustard, barbeque sauce, and ketchup...of course! |
Ok, I admit. This recipe was cooked nearly a month ago, but dang it if Life Got in the Way (which is the title to one of our favorite Sister Hazel songs...if you didn't already know that...). Anyway, here it is, better late than never!
This recipe offered me the chance to try two new things: Panko bread crumbs (which Mark is very fond of) and Kevin's deep fryer. The Mark Nuggets call for bread crumbs but Panko bread crumbs, which can be found in the Japanese section, promise to not become soggy. I wanted to make sure the nuggets had a texture different than say a chicken Parmesan feel so I gave them a shot. To be honest, they were great! The only down fall is I think I coated the nuggets a little too much, but no complaints about texture or taste. Using the deep fryer was easier than I had expected and my experience of deep frying this time was much better than the last...last time I tried fried chicken in a skillet and had a small fire on the back burner. Yeah...our older son doesn't let me forget that one! And, yes, I do know how to properly put out a grease fire...... I even got brave and deep fried French fries to accompany the nuggets, which came out perfectly (thanks to hubby's directions).
All in all, this recipe got a two thumbs up from the family and me. It's not one we'll have every month because of the amount of deep frying, but a little drop in the oil can't hurt...can it? ;-P
