Chicken Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Take a small amount of the chopped chicken, shape it into a nugget, dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken is used.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the nuggets, frying in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
