I’m not a huge fan of cooking with oil all the time, even if it is olive oil. Many times I’ve already consumed my fair share of fat by the time dinner comes around. I am also not much of a “think out of the box” type of cook. So I was excited to make a new recipe for the family using Nakano Seasoned Roasted Garlic Vinegar. I decided to make Asian Chicken Nuggets.
INGREDIENTS
- 1-1/2 lbs. boneless chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar—Roasted Garlic
- 3 large green onions, minced
- 1 piece ginger (1 1/2×1-inch), minced
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 3/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
- 4 to 6 Tbsp. vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, toss chicken with rice vinegar, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; chill 1/2 hour to 8 hours. Drain chicken well; discard marinade. Dip chicken in crumbs; shake off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 1/3 to 1/2 of the chicken without crowding until no longer pink in center, about 2 minutes per side; drain on paper towels. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.
I really enjoyed the taste of cooking with the Nakano Seasoned Roasted Garlic Vinegar. It added a lot of flavor to the meat and was very tasty. Even my husband and daughter enjoyed the meal which is always a plus when I cook LOL! I could definitely seeing using the Nakano Seasoned Vinegar products to create a yummy salad dressing or drizzle over your vegetables for added flavor. I would love to try the red pepper flavor as it sounds like it might add a little spice!

These flavored vinegars sound great. The red pepper one could be either red bell peppers or hot peppers.Using these vinegars you will not need as much other seasonings

Meg Tucker says
One of the main reasons I don’t like cooking with oil (health reasons aside) is that I hate all the hot greasy mess and clean up! I’m a great cook but I don’t even like to cook bacon! I do have to say that this is a recipe that I’d love to try! 🙂
Jesselyn A/Jesstinger says
Great recipe! I was thrilled to learn about Nakano’s line of new flavored rice vinegars – especially the Seasoned Roasted Garlic Vinegar – but I still wasn’t sure if my Honey/Hubby would go for a lowfat version of chicken nuggets – even if he didn’t know the secret ingredients – so I only made a half-recipe.
The only “fresh ginger” I had was all wrinkled and dried out – so I had to substitute a little bit of high quality The Spice Hunter dried Chinese Ginger. I also used Panko Bread Crumbs (because I just like them better) – otherwise followed the recipe pretty closely…
To my surprise and delight – the Hubby literally devoured them – so quickly I barely got a chance to sample them myself. Definitely a keeper (next time I’ll make a whole recipe.) Also love the Nakano Seasoned Roasted Garlic Rice Vinegar – glad to have as a new staple in our kitchen. Thanks again, Colleen!
Robin O says
Wow, I really like the look of those Nakano Seasoned Vinegar flavors. I haven’t seen them in the store, but I will check Publix and Winn-Dixie. I much prefer cooking with vinegars rather than oils too!

I am so glad I stumbled onto this recipe. My kids said they are getting tired of BBQ chicken. So I am looking for something new to do with chicken. I have got to find the Roasted Garlic flavored Nakano Rice Vinegar. We love garlic! Thanks for the recipe.

Oh I bet this would taste really good with some mild fish too!
