Method
-
Dip a nugget into the oat milk mixture to coat, then into the seasoned flour, coating all sides. Set aside on a plate while you repeat with the remaining nuggets.
-
Heat about 1cm oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium–high heat. The oil is hot enough when a cube of bread sizzles when added to the pan.
-
Add half the nuggets to the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper while you cook the remaining nuggets. Serve hot with barbecue sauce, mayonnaise or ketchup.
Notes
Replace the BBQ seasoning in the batter with Cajun, jerk or fajita seasoning, if you like.
Oat milk is a plant milk derived from whole oat grains by extracting the plant material with water. Oat milk has a creamy texture and oatmeal-like flavour.
