Jeera Chicken
Jeera Chicken (Cumin spiced Chicken)
These are little nuggets of golden brown delicious, an Indian version of chicken nuggets. This recipe also taste great if made using chicken wings as an alternative but preferably the skinless version to ensure the actual meat gets coated with the spice mix. Chicken breast though is just easier to buy and prepare and these days life is all about making it as easy and fast as I possibly can.
This would taste great as a quick starter before a dinner party served with a side salad or as part of a main meal; we enjoyed it with couscous and raita. Hope you all find it delicious too!
