Ingredients:
Chicken breast (700 grams)
Eggs (2 pieces)
Wheat flour (50 grams)
Bread crumbs (150 grams)
Vegetable oil (400 milliliters)
Cooking Salt (1
teaspoon)
Ground black pepper (1 pinch)
Dried Garlic (1 teaspoon)
Method:
Step 1
To prepare homemade nuggets, take chicken breast, eggs,
wheat flour of any kind, bread crumbs, refined vegetable oil, dried granulated
garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. In addition, you can use any seasoning
you like, not just the ones I indicated.
Step 2
So, we cut the chicken breast (without skin and bone, of
course) into rather large and not thin pieces. Well, you probably have an idea
of what ready-made chicken nuggets look like.
Step 3
Crack medium-sized raw eggs into a small bowl.
Step 4
For now, just actively beating them with a fork to break up
the viscous texture of the protein. If you want, you can beat the eggs with a
mixer or whisk - even better.
Step 5
Let's prepare the first breading - it will be any kind of
wheat flour, dried garlic (or any other seasoning of your choice), salt and
ground black pepper. We mix everything.
Step 6
Pour breadcrumbs into other dishes - I have, of course,
homemade ones.
Step 7
So, we bread the chicken fillet. First, roll each piece in a flour mixture, shake off the excess.
Step 8
After that, we place the meat in the eggs so that they completely
cover the pieces.
Step 9
And immediately roll the chicken fillet in bread crumbs.
Step 10
Thus, we bread all the pieces of chicken, carefully remove
the extra crackers so that they do not sprinkle later and do not burn in oil.
By the way, such a blank can be frozen on a tray, then, as the pieces freeze,
put into a bag and cook as needed.
Step 11
In order to fry chicken nuggets, we need a decent amount of
refined vegetable (I have sunflower) oil. Pour it into a pan of a suitable size
(preferably a narrow and high one so that less oil is consumed), warm it up
well. When the oil is warm enough, put the breaded pieces of meat in it. Do not
add too much at once so that the nuggets cook evenly. We fry on medium heat
until golden brown - about 5 minutes. But I won't tell you the exact time here,
if only because I don't know what size your pieces of meat will be and what the
temperature of the oil is.
Step 12
Put the finished golden chicken nuggets on paper napkins or
a towel so that they absorb the excess oil. Then, in the same way, deep-fry the
rest of the breaded chicken fillet pieces.
Step 13
We serve this simple but very tasty appetizer hot, although
I personally like chicken nuggets cold. Any sauces of your choice, fresh vegetables,
aromatic herbs, side dishes to taste - almost everything is combined with these
juicy and at the same time crispy pieces of chicken fillet.
