Chicken Nuggets at Home Instructions

  1. Wash chicken fillets and blot dry with paper towels. Cut into 2-3 cm pieces and season with salt.
  2. Break 3 eggs into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Stir in 0.5 teaspoon salt.
  3. Pour 2 glasses breadcrumbs into a deep container.
  4. Dip each piece of chicken in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating once more.
  5. Heat 700 milliliters oil in a multicooker or large saucepan to 170-180°C (340-360°F).
  6. Carefully place coated chicken pieces into the hot oil in a single layer, using a mesh strainer to help lower them if needed. Fry for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
  7. Remove nuggets with a strainer or slotted spoon and place on paper napkins to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot.

Bon appetit!
