Can you make delicious chicken nuggets at home? You might as well try it!


Thaw frozen chicken fillets, wipe dry with kitchen paper, and blend in a food processor; add seasonings and mix well; add 2 teaspoons of corn flour and mix well. Add salt to low-gluten flour, mix well and set aside.


Shape into different shapes of chicken Nuggets and refrigerate for 15 minutes before operating. Dust the surface with flour, dip it in egg yolk, then dust with flour and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Refrigeration can make the chicken Nuggets skin more defined and more adherent to the chicken.


Preheat the oil temperature to 160°C over medium heat. Fry the chicken Nuggets twice to avoid the oil temperature dropping too low at one time.


Put them into the pot one by one, fry for 5 minutes for the first time, rest for 2 minutes, and adjust the oil temperature. High to medium-high heat at 180°C, fry for 4 minutes until golden brown, dip in your favorite sauce, and serve.


Chicken Nuggets need to be deep fried at high temperatures to achieve crispy outside and juicy inside. If you use an air fryer, it is recommended to cook at 200°C for 12 minutes, sweep the oil before putting it into the pan, and reverse it once in the middle.


Even at the highest temperature, it is difficult to color, the skin is slightly dry and thick, and the chicken tastes dry. Those who are looking for less oil can give it a try, but it will not taste too much like buying.


If using an oven, 200°C for 15 minutes, sweep the oil before putting it into the oven and reverse it once in the middle. It takes a long time to bake until golden brown, the skin is tough, and the taste is the driest. It is not recommended.
