Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 chicken breasts (500 g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 75 g breadcrumbs
- 75 ml milk
Breading
- 100 g wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- 150 g breadcrumbs
Frying
- Olive oil for frying
Serving
- Ketchup to accompany (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces suitable for blending.
- Season Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a food processor and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Soak Breadcrumbs: Soak 75 g of breadcrumbs in 75 ml of milk for a few minutes, then drain excess milk.
- Combine & Blend: Add the soaked breadcrumbs to the chicken in the food processor and blend until a smooth, uniform mixture forms.
- Form Nuggets: Shape the processed chicken mixture into evenly sized portions or nuggets.
- Breading Process: Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with wheat flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with 150 g breadcrumbs. Coat each nugget first in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry Nuggets: Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the nugget portions in batches until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Drain the cooked nuggets on paper towels and serve hot with ketchup and fries.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is moderate to avoid burning the nuggets while cooking through.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain even cooking and crispiness.
- You can substitute olive oil with vegetable or canola oil if preferred.
- For a crispier texture, you can double coat the nuggets by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
