Drescription

These homemade chicken nuggets made in the air fryer come out perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk
2 pounds chicken tenderloins, cut into nugget size
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
cooking spray

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Mix buttermilk and chicken in a large bowl; set aside to soak while you prepare seasoned flour.
Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Pour panko bread crumbs onto a flat plate.
Dredge each chicken nugget first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally coat in bread crumbs.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the basket with cooking spray. Place as many nuggets into the basket as you can without overcrowding. Lightly mist the tops of the nuggets with cooking spray.
Cook for 10 minutes. Flip chicken nuggets and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and repeat with remaining nuggets.
Enjoy!

Seared Scallops with Spring Onion and Tarragon Cream

About a year ago I had a wonderful dish of halibut cheeks served with grilled baby leeks and asparagus and a spring onion soubise at one of our favorite Providence restaurants, La Laiterie. That soubise has haunted me, and I’ve been waiting for just the right opportunity to try my hand at making a similar sauce at home. When this challenge was announced, I thought the super sweet Bomster scallops (from Stonington, CT) that we get at our local farmers market would pair beautifully, and happily I was right. The delicate onion flavor, in this instance enhanced with a hint of anise-y tarragon and the subtle tang of (you guessed it) crème fraiche, played really well with the caramelized scallops, and the pale green color of the sauce whispered “spring.” -

Lemon-Blueberry Breakfast Pastry

This classic breakfast pastry offers sweet-tart blueberries and cream cheese in every bite—perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or as a special addition to a celebratory brunch. If available, sweet and aromatic Meyer lemons add an extra layer of flavor. Be sure to keep the puff pastry chilled as much as possible—it helps preserve the layers and results in a flakier crust.
