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.
