Tips to make Glazed Chicken Donuts

For an extra crunchy texture, double dredge the chicken by dipping it in the buttermilk, then the flour mixture, and back to the buttermilk again before the final coating.
Use a cookie cutter to help shape the chicken just like donuts for a uniform appearance.
Experiment with different spices in the flour mixture for a unique twist. You could add cayenne pepper for some heat or garlic powder for added flavor.

Variation

For a healthier version, try baking the chicken instead of frying it. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture and then place it on a baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through and golden brown.
