Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Mix until well combined.
- Scoop the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls and flatten into nugget shapes. Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Fill a medium pot a little more than halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk in the egg, then add the soda water a little at a time so it doesn't overflow. The batter should have a slightly loose consistency, similar to crepe batter.
- Remove the chicken from the freezer. Working in batches of 4-5 at a time, dip each chicken nugget in the batter twice, then transfer to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tan in color. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the nuggets to the oil in batches and fry again for 2 minutes more, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a crispy coating, double coat the chicken nuggets in the flour mixture, egg wash, and breadcrumb mixture.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken nuggets. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken nuggets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken nuggets until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
These crispy coated chicken nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
