Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make deep-fried chicken nuggets from 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. You will learn a lot of useful information about chicken eggs by reading the article on this topic. There is a link to it at the end of this recipe.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the chicken fillet into pieces approximately 1-1.5 cm thick and 5-7 cm long. Everyone probably knows what the finished nuggets look like, so I think there will be no problems at this stage. If so, look at the photo.

Step 3

Step 3
Now start preparing the flour coating — we will have it first. To do this, mix wheat flour with dry spices and salt. Dried garlic and black pepper are excellent spices. But you can use any other spices to your liking.

Step 4

Step 4
Make a leison. To do this, beat raw eggs into a bowl.

Step 5

Step 5
Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. Donʼt try to beat too hard — you just need to mix the whites and yolks until smooth. This will be the second part of the breading.

Step 6

The third breading is made from breadcrumbs. Place breadcrumbs into a bowl. Mix them with ground paprika and red hot pepper on the tip of a knife.

Dip a piece of chicken into the egg mixture, making sure that the egg covers the meat on all sides.

Step 10

Step 10
Now coat the chicken in breadcrumbs and spices. Shake off the remaining breading so that nothing unnecessary gets into the deep fryer. Do the same with each chicken piece, placing them on a cutting board.

Step 11

Step 11
The nuggets are ready. This way you can prepare them for future use and freeze them, and then simply take them out and fry them — very convenient and fast!

Step 12

Step 12
If you donʼt have a deep fryer, you can fry the nuggets in a regular saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour vegetable oil into a bowl and heat it. Carefully, being careful not to burn yourself, lower the nuggets into the boiling oil and fry them on all sides. They literally need 2-3 minutes for each side. How to choose oil for frying, read a separate article at the end of this recipe.

Step 13

Place the finished nuggets on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
