"Brining makes our nuggets juicy, and they’re coated twice for maximum crunch...."
INGREDIENTS
•
Don’t brine the chicken longer than 30 minutes or it will be too salty. To crush the panko, place it inside a zipper-lock bag and lightly beat it with a rolling pin. This recipe doubles easily and freezes well.
