Steps on How to Make Chicken Nuggets Recipe
- Cut your boneless chicken into small sizes to make them easier for blending.
- Bring the chicken into the blender and add all the seasonings: paprika, red chili, and ginger. Also, add minced garlic, salt, tomato sauce, sugar, and onion powder; blend into a smooth consistency. You need a powerful blender to blend the chicken into a smooth paste.
- Cut out the brown edges of your sliced bread; then soak it in water and squeeze out any excess water.
- Add the soaked bread into the blender together with the lemon juice and 1 tbsp of cornstarch and blend again until everything is mixed properly.
Molding the chicken nuggets into desired shapes
- Oil your hand to make it easier for molding the chicken nuggets to prevent them from sticking to your palms while molding.
- Cut a small chunk of the chicken paste and mold it into a small ball, round shape, square shape, or any desired shape.
- Dip and coat with cornstarch, then dip into an egg wash (made with the 2 eggs by simply whisking with a tbsp of water), then into the bread crumbs. Ensure the chicken nugget is completely coated with the bread crumbs to make it crispy.
Frying or Baking the Chicken Nuggets
- Place a pan on the heat and add enough oil to deep fry your chicken nuggets. You can bake it as well.
- When the oil is heated, add the chicken nuggets into it and fry while stirring and flipping continuously to ensure even frying.
- Once they are golden brown, remove them from the oil and drain them on a paper towel.
- Your easy homemade chicken nuggets recipe is ready. You can enjoy it with tomato sauce or any sauce of choice.
