Bacon Ranch Chicken Nuggets Food

RANCH CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• With a very sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts in half down the middle. This will result in 8 chicken breast pieces that are thinner and uniform in size.
• Next, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together the honey, mustard, paprika, salt, pepper to taste, lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
• Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge, 2 to 4 hours.
• While the chicken marinates, fry up the bacon until chewy. When finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and pour off the rest of the grease (but do not clean the skillet).
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and cook it in the skillet over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Brush a little reserved bacon grease on the chicken as you cook it. (Or you can grill the chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill.)
• When a couple of minutes grilling time are left, lay 2 pieces of bacon onto each chicken breast. Top with some Cheddar and allow it to melt on the grill (if you need to remove the chicken you can finish melting the cheese under the broiler).
• Halve the rolls and immediately load with the bacon-and-cheese covered chicken.

CHICKEN NUGGET BACON RANCH CLUB

Steps:

• For the chicken nuggets: Whisk the eggs together with 2 tablespoons water in a shallow bowl or dish.
• Put the panko in a separate shallow bowl or dish and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix together with a fork to evenly combine.
• Put the flour in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag along with the seasoned salt, lemon pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Seal the bag and shake to combine.
• Open the bag and add the chicken. Seal and shake to coat the chicken well.
• Open the bag and begin to coat the nuggets in batches. First, dip a few pieces in the egg wash until coated, then roll in the seasoned panko, pressing the panko evenly into the chicken to make sure it adheres. Work in batches until all the nuggets are coated, placing coated nuggets on a plate.
• Heat 2 inches oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven until it reaches 325 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Fry the nuggets in 2 batches, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and completely cooked through, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch.
• Remove each batch with a slotted spoon or a fish spatula to the lined plate and allow the nuggets to drain.
• For the sandwiches: Spread the roll bottoms with 1 tablespoon ranch dressing each. Lay 1 piece of butter lettuce on the dressing. Lay 4 pieces of bacon (2 full slices) on the lettuce. Place 4 to 6 chicken nuggets on the bacon. Top with a layer of pickles, then drizzle with a touch more ranch dressing. Top with 2 slices of tomato. Squeeze ketchup on the lids of the sandwiches and close them.

• Preheat deep fryer to 350 degrees.
• Cut breasts to 1" to 1 1/4 inch pieces as close to cubes as possible. The important thing is that all weigh as close as possible and do not exceed an ounce by too much.

• Cut raw bacon in half. Wrap nugget tucking in any loose ends to make then as near a ball shape as possible. Crosspin the bacon in place with a toothpick.
• Depending on fryer capacity you should add 5-8 nuggets at a time and fry 3 1/2 to 5 minutes until nuggets just begin to float.
• Drain on paper towels and cut the largest nugget in half to test doneness or check with thermometer probe (quick response type) and adjust cooking time.
• A properly cooked nugget will show bacon done medium and herbed white meat with browned highlights.
• If they need to be served by the full batch they can hold in a 150-175 degree oven covered with a moistened (not dripping) paper towel.
