Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry breaded chicken nuggets at home in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary products. Nuggets can be prepared not only from chicken fillet, but also from legs, thighs, even drumsticks, the main thing is to cut off the skin from the purchased parts of the chicken carcass. Depending on the size of the fillet, you may need 1-2 chicken eggs for breading.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the chicken fillet, cut off the films from it, cut each into long strips no more than 1 cm thick. If you wish, you can choose another cutting method.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the chicken eggs into a deep container and beat with a fork or whisk until fluffy for about 1-2 minutes. There is no need to beat vigorously, you just need to thoroughly mix the yolks and whites

Step 4

Step 4
Chop chips of any flavor with your hands, placing them in a small bag. You can use a pastry hammer, but then place the bag of chips in an additional bag to prevent the breading from scattering across the work surface.

Step 5

Step 5
Place wheat flour on a plate and add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently. Dip each piece of chicken fillet on both sides into the flour with spices — this method of mixing spices with flour will save you the time of sprinkling spices on each piece separately.

Step 6

Step 6
Then place a piece of floured fillet into the beaten egg mixture.

Step 7

Step 7
Mix crushed chips with breadcrumbs in a deep container or bowl.

Step 8

Step 8
Bread a piece of chicken fillet in a beaten egg mixture. After frying, this breading becomes crispy, tasty and bright in appearance.

Step 9

Step 9
Bread the rest of the chicken fillet in this manner, placing it on a board or wide plate or dish.

Step 10

Step 10
In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil well and place the workpieces on it. If the oil is not heated properly, the breading will absorb it and fall off during the frying process, without forming a golden brown crust, so there is no need to rush in this matter! Fry the nuggets on one side for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat, flip and fry for another 2-3 minutes. For information on how to choose a frying pan and oil, read the articles linked at the end of the recipe.

Step 11

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

Step 12
Serve homemade chicken nuggets with ketchup, classic yogurt, garlic mayonnaise, and don’t forget about fresh herbs and vegetables. Bon appetit!
