Deep fried breast nuggets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make deep-fried chicken nuggets from breasts? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Clean the chicken fillet from all excess, wash and dry with paper towels. Wash and dry the eggs as well. You will learn a lot of useful information about chicken eggs by reading the article on this topic. There is a link to it at the end of this recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the chicken fillet into pieces approximately 1-1.5 cm thick and 5-7 cm long. Everyone probably knows what the finished nuggets look like, so I think there will be no problems at this stage. If so, look at the photo.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now start preparing the flour coating - we will have it first. To do this, mix wheat flour with dry spices and salt. Dried garlic and black pepper are excellent spices. But you can use any other spices to your liking.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make the batter. To do this, beat raw eggs into a bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. Don't try to beat too hard - you just need to mix the whites and yolks until smooth. This will be the second breading.

6. STEP 6

   

   The third breading is made from breadcrumbs. Place breadcrumbs into a bowl. Mix them with ground paprika and red hot pepper on the tip of a knife.

7. STEP 7

   

   This is what the third, pepper breading for nuggets looks like.

8. STEP 8

   

   First roll each piece of chicken fillet in the first flour coating. Carefully shake off any remaining flour from the piece.

9. STEP 9

   

   Dip a piece of chicken into the egg batter, making sure that the egg coats the meat on all sides.

10. STEP 10

    

    Now coat the chicken in breadcrumbs and spices. Shake off the remaining breading so that nothing unnecessary gets into the deep frying. Do the same with each chicken piece, placing them on a cutting board.

11. STEP 11

    

    The nuggets are ready. This way you can prepare them for future use and freeze them, and then simply take them out and fry them - very convenient and fast!

12. STEP 12

    

    If you don't have a deep fryer, you can fry the nuggets in a regular saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour vegetable oil into a bowl and heat it. Carefully, being careful not to burn yourself, lower the nuggets into the boiling oil and fry them on all sides. They literally need 2-3 minutes for each side. Read how to choose oil for frying in a separate article at the end of this recipe.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the finished nuggets on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.

14. STEP 14

    

    Serve nuggets with ketchup, red or white sauce.

15. STEP 15

    

    Bon appetit!

The deep-fried breast nuggets turned out juicy, spicy, with a crispy crust. I liked it very much! I deviated from the recipe in only one way - I didn’t add salt either to the flour or to the other layers of breading, but rather added salt to the chicken pieces themselves. The three-layer breading turns out dense, crispy, and the addition of paprika also gives it a beautiful rich color. Good recipe, I recommend it!

Deep-fried breast nuggets are one of my family’s favorite meat dishes. Small pieces of meat with a golden crispy crust, could there be anything tastier? Of course, such dishes are not considered healthy, but you can still treat yourself sometimes) Thank you very much for the recipe!
