Tater Tots Ingredients
Method
Macha Fried Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the macha powder with panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Bread the Chicken
Take each piece of chicken, dredge it in the flour, dip it in the egg, and finally coat it in the macha-panko mixture. Ensure that each piece is well coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (approximately 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
Tater Tots Directions
Bake the Tater Tots
Preheat the oven according to package instructions (usually around 425°F or 220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Season the Tater Tots
Sprinkle the tater tots with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook the Tater Tots
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through the cooking time.
