BREADED CHICKEN NUGGETS
Making homemade breaded chicken nuggets is a great way to enjoy this delicious snack with quality ingredients. Here's a simple recipe:
INGREDIENTS
- 500g chicken breast, cut into pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use freshly crushed bread)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
PREPARATION METHOD
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
- In three separate dishes, put the wheat flour in the first, the beaten eggs in the second and the breadcrumbs mixed with the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder (if using) in the third.
- Coat each piece of chicken in flour, making sure it is completely covered. Then dip it in the beaten eggs and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere the breading well.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry, but not so hot that it burns the nuggets.
- Place the breaded chicken nuggets in the frying pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your frying pan.
- Remove the nuggets from the frying pan and place them on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
- Serve the homemade breaded chicken nuggets hot with your favorite sauce, such as ketchup, mustard or barbecue sauce.
These homemade nuggets are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, providing an authentic taste that appeals to children and adults alike. You can also experiment with different spices and add-ons to customize the taste.
