How to Make Crispy Cannabis Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces).
• 1 cup all-purpose flour.
• 1 tsp garlic powder.
• 1 tsp smoked paprika.
• 1/2 tsp salt.
• 1/2 tsp black pepper.
• 2 large eggs (beaten).
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
• 1/2 cup cannabis-infused oil.
• 1/2 cup regular oil.

Tools:

• Tongs.
• Whisk.
• Paper towels.
• Mixing bowls.
• Baking sheet.
• Cutting board.
• Frying pan or deep fryer.

Instructions:

1. Prep your chicken: Cut the chicken into same-size bits so they cook even. Dry the pieces with paper towels.

2. Mix the dry stuff: In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir good to mix the flavors.

3. Beat the eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs till they’re all mixed. The egg helps the breading stick.

4. Get the breading ready: Grab another bowl and dump in those panko crumbs. These babies are gonna make our nuggets super light and crunchy.

5. Coat the chicken in flour: Roll each piece good in the flour mix, make sure every bit is covered. This locks in all that juicy goodness and gives us a killer crispy crust.

6. Dip in egg: Next, dip each floured piece in the eggs, let the extra drip off. This helps the breading stick good.

7. Cover in breading: Finally, coat each piece with the panko, press a bit to make sure it sticks well. This makes the outside crispy.

8. Heat the oil: Pour the cannabis oil in the pan and heat it on medium. Get it hot before you fry, so they turn golden.

9. Fry the nuggets: Add a few at a time, fry for 3-4 minutes each side till golden brown. Don’t crowd the pan, so they fry even.

10. Drain and rest: When done, take them out and put them on a plate with paper towels to soak up extra oil. Let them rest a bit before you eat.

💡 Cooking Options:

Air Fryer: Cook at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway.
Oven-Baked: Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.

Tips For Better Cannabis Chicken Nuggets

Getting consistent and perfectly crispy cannabis-infused chicken nuggets is not that hard, you just need to pay attention to these small details:

• Fresh is Best: Use fresh chicken for the tastiest nuggets. Frozen ones won’t be as good.
  
  
• Double Dip for Crunch: Want extra crunch? Dip ’em in the egg and breading twice.
  
  
• Oil Temp Matters: Keep the oil at 350 degrees. Too hot? They burn. Too cold? They’re greasy.
  
  
• Don’t Crowd the Pan: Fry a few at a time. Too many makes the oil cold and the nuggets soggy.
  
  
• Cool on a Rack: Let them cool on a wire rack, not paper towels. This keeps them crispy.
  
  
• Watch Your Dose: If you’re using infused oil, be careful not to use too much. My Dosage Calculator can help.
  
  
• Reheat Right: Store leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

These weed-infused chicken nuggets are awesome! Super crispy on the outside, but still juicy and full of flavor on the inside. Give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out in the comments!
