How to Make Cajun Style Chicken Nuggets
- In a large bowl, combine 1 packet onion soup mix, 2 cups bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
- Dip each chicken cube into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F/175°C).
- Carefully place chicken nuggets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Remove nuggets from skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.
