Adapted from a This Food That Wine episode, these are yummy, crispy and peppery chicken nuggets skewered like lollipops for easy dipping and eating! They paired these with a ginger-peach sauce but a plum or Oriental cherry sauce would be equally delicious! Read more ! Ingredients:
12 whole chicken tenders, cut widthwise in half |
1 cup brown rice flour |
1 cup panko bread crumbs |
4 egg whites, lightly beaten |
grated zest of 1/2 lemon |

3 tbsp canola oil |

3. Add lemon zest to the bowl of Panko and the pepper with the egg whites, mixing each lightly until evenly distributed.
