• 3 in another big bowl put cornmeal and seasonings to taste.


• 4 rinse nuggets and dip into milk mixture, depending on how many you have you could probably fit them all in at one time.


• 5 take a few out of the milk and dip in to the cornmeal, roll around to get it coated good, then put into oil.


• 6 if using skillet put them in until skillet is full. fry 3 minutes, turn and fry another 2-3 minutes. if using a deep fryer fry 5 minutes, about halfway through stir them around to break up any that might have clumped together. they are done when golden brown and flake easily with a fork.
