1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
100 g flour
200 g breadcrumbs (or Panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch)

𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒂𝒖𝒓 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒔:
Dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters (various sizes and shapes)

𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈:

Vegetable sticks (such as carrots and celery)

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏:
Wash and dry the chicken breast fillets thoroughly.
Cut into coarse pieces and place in a food processor.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, salt, and pepper.
Blend until a homogeneous mixture forms.

𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝑶𝒖𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝑴𝒊𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆:
Spread the chicken mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1 cm thick.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the mixture, making it easier to cut out shapes.

𝑪𝒖𝒕 𝑶𝒖𝒕 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒔:
Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and peel off the top parchment paper.
Use the dinosaur cookie cutters to cut out various dinosaur shapes from the chicken mixture.
Carefully remove the cut shapes and place them on a separate sheet of parchment paper.

𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈:
Place flour in a shallow dish.
Beat egg and milk together in another dish.
Place breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Coat each chicken shape first in flour, then dip in the egg-milk mixture, and finally coat in breadcrumbs until fully covered.

𝑭𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈:
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Fry the breaded dinosaur nuggets in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈:
Arrange the dinosaur nuggets on a large serving plate.
Serve with various dips such as ketchup, mayonnaise, and BBQ sauce.
Add vegetable sticks as a healthy side.

𝑻𝒊𝒑𝒔:
For a healthier version, bake the nuggets in the oven. Place the breaded nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray lightly with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Feel free to add other spices or herbs to the chicken mixture according to your taste.
Dinosaur nuggets can be frozen. Simply pre-freeze the breaded nuggets on a baking sheet and then store in freezer bags. Fry or bake directly from the freezer as needed.
