Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make nuggets in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary products. Nuggets can be created not only from chicken fillet, but also from hams, thighs, even shins, the main thing is to cut off the skin from the purchased parts of the chicken carcass. Depending on the size of the fillet, 1-2 chicken eggs may be needed for breading.
Step 2:
Wash the chicken fillet, cut off the films from it, cut each into long strips no more than 1 cm thick. Optionally, you can choose another way of slicing.
Step 3:
Break the chicken eggs into a deep container, whisk with a fork or whisk into a fluffy foam for about 1-2 minutes. It is not necessary to beat strongly, you just need to mix the yolks with the whites qualitatively
Step 4:
Chop chips with any taste by hand, placing them in a small bag. You can use a cooking hammer, but then place the bag of chips in an additional bag so that the breading does not scatter over the work surface.
Step 5:
Pour wheat flour on a plate, and add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix gently. Dip each piece of chicken fillet into the flour with spices on both sides - this way of mixing spices with flour will save your time from sprinkling spices on each piece separately.
Step 6:
Then move a piece of fillet in flour into the beaten egg mass.
Step 7:
Mix the crushed chips with breadcrumbs in a deep container or bowl.
Step 8:
Pan in them a piece of chicken fillet extracted from the beaten egg mass. Such breading after frying becomes crispy, tasty and bright in appearance.
Step 9:
Pan the rest of the chicken fillet in this way, laying it out on a board or a wide plate, dish.
Step 10:
Pour vegetable oil into the pan and heat it up. Heat over medium heat until the oil boils, lay out the paned blanks. If the oil is not warmed up properly, the breading will absorb it into itself and will disappear during the frying process without forming a ruddy crust, so there is no need to hurry in this matter! Fry the nuggets on one side for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat, turn over and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 11:
Place the prepared dish on paper napkins lined on a plate. The paper will absorb excess fat - this is very important, especially if children will also eat the dish!
Step 12:
Serve ruddy fragrant nuggets together with ketchup, classic yogurt, garlic mayonnaise, not forgetting fresh herbs and vegetables.
Nuggets in a frying pan are cooked very quickly if you prepare both types of breadcrumbs in advance and beat the chicken eggs. It is advisable to involve assistants, such as children, in the process of preparing such a dish. They really like to help in the kitchen, because they will also get juicy nuggets.
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.
