Pour the quinoa flakes into a bowl and take roughly one tablespoon of the chicken mince, forming the shape of a nugget
Gently coat the chicken in the quinoa flakes by flipping it gently in the bowl, then add to the hot oil

When ready, remove the nuggets from the oil and place onto a plate lined with paper towe
