Chicken Nuggets

Method

Chicken Nuggets

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Place on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Nuggets

    Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

French Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 7

    Soak Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 9

    Fry the Fries

    Carefully add the soaked and dried potato strips to the hot oil and fry in batches for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 10

    Season Fries

    Sprinkle the hot fries with salt immediately after removing from the oil.
