These breaded chicken nuggets opt for a fusion of flavor thanks to the addition of grounded pretzels used as the salty coating. The inclusion of the cracker adds a crispy and dynamic texture to these already cult favorite foods.
Pretzels and chicken nuggets have quite a few flavors already in common making them an ideal match for one another. Both are crispy with a salty flavor and the dry texture of the pretzel lends itself well as a coating for cooking meat. The breading is made using crushed pretzels which are already generously seasoned with salt topped with parmesan cheese, flour, eggs and pepper. Chicken strips are dipped into the egg and then the pretzel coating before being either baked for a healthy version or deep fried for a more sinful fast food taste.
