Ingredients
1 cup coconut oil or bacon fat, for frying
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups powdered Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp ground black pepper
16oz (454g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized nuggets
½ cup Sweet-and- Sour Sauce, warmed
1 batch Cauliflower Fried Rice
Sliced scallions, for garnish
Directions
- In a 4-inch-deep (or deeper) cast-iron skillet over medium heat, heat the oil to 180°C/350°F. The oil should be 1 inch deep; if necessary, add more oil.
- To bread the chicken, place the eggs in a shallow baking dish and lightly beat with a fork. Combine the powdered Parmesan and pepper in a separate shallow baking dish. Dip a chicken nugget in the eggs and then in the cheese mixture. Coat each nugget thoroughly.
- Fry the nuggets in batches for about 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, until the oil is hot.
- Brush the sauce over the fried chicken nuggets. Serve with rice and, if desired, garnish with scallions. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days. Place in a lightly greased skillet for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reheat.
