Chicken Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Coating

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  3. 3

    Coat the Nuggets

    In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip each chicken piece in the egg, then coat it with the flour mixture. Repeat until all chicken pieces are coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken nuggets in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chicken nuggets hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
