CHICKEN NUGGETS

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
Vegetable oil, for frying
Ketchup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a plastic bag, mix the flour, seasoned salt and some salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix the eggs with 2 tablespoons water. In a separate bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
  • Shake the chicken pieces in the bag to coat. In batches, dip them in the egg wash, then in the breadcrumbs.
  • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a few breadcrumbs dropped in the oil start to sizzle immediately. Fry the chicken, in batches if needed, until golden brown and cooked through, a couple minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel and serve with ketchup.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken nuggets are crispy, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding them. The ideal oil temperature is 375°F (190°C).
  • For a healthier version of the chicken nuggets, you can bake them in the oven instead of frying them.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cut chicken breasts or tenders.
  • If you don't have breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or cornflakes.
  • For a unique flavor, try adding your favorite seasonings to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
