Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make chicken nuggets from deep-fried 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.
Step 2:
Cut the chicken fillet into pieces about 1-1.5 cm thick and 5-7 cm long. Everyone probably knows what ready-made nuggets look like, so I think there will be no problems at this stage. If anything, look at the photo.
Step 3:
Now proceed to the preparation of flour breading - we will have it first. To do this, mix wheat flour with dry spices and salt. Dried garlic and black pepper are perfect for spices. But you can use any other spices to your liking.
Step 4:
Make a batter. To do this, beat the raw eggs into a bowl.
Step 5:
Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. Do not try to beat too much - you just need to mix the whites with the yolks until smooth. This will be the second breading.
Step 6:
The third breading is made of breadcrumbs. Pour the breadcrumbs into a bowl. Mix them with ground paprika and red hot pepper on the tip of a knife.
Step 7:
This is what the third, pepper breading for nuggets looks like.
Step 8:
Roll each piece of chicken fillet first in the first flour breading. Carefully shake off the remaining flour from the piece.
Step 9:
Dip a piece of chicken into the egg batter, trying to make the egg envelop the meat from all sides.
Step 10:
Now roll the chicken in breadcrumbs with spices. Shake off the remains of the breading so that nothing superfluous gets into the fryer. Do the same with each chicken piece, putting them on a cutting board.
Step 11:
The nuggets are ready. This way you can cook them for the future and freeze them, and then just get them and fry them - very convenient and fast!
Step 12:
If you don't have a deep fryer, you can fry nuggets in a regular saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour vegetable oil into a bowl and heat it. Carefully, trying not to get burned, dip the nuggets in boiling oil and fry them on all sides. They have literally 2-3 minutes for each side.
Step 13:
Put the finished nuggets on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
Step 14:
Serve the nuggets with ketchup, red or white sauce.
Step 15:
Bon appetit!
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which one is better not to use at all, read here .
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.
