Chicken nuggets are a classic and delicious option that is loved by both children and adults. Homemade chicken nuggets have a crispy and golden exterior texture, thanks to the breading, while the interior remains tender and juicy. This combination of textures creates a pleasant dining experience in every bite. The basic chicken nuggets recipe allows for a wide range of variations in terms of flavor. Additional herbs, spices, or seasonings can be added to the breading mixture to create different flavor profiles based on personal preferences. By making chicken nuggets at home, you have complete control over the ingredients and cooking method. You can opt for healthier ingredients, such as lean chicken and whole-grain breadcrumbs, and bake instead of frying to reduce the amount of added fat. Here is a simple recipe to make homemade chicken nuggets:
Ingredients: 500g boneless skinless chicken breast, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup wheat flour, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, Salt and pepper to taste, Vegetable oil for frying.
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces, the size of nuggets. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. In a third bowl, place the wheat flour. Dredge each piece of chicken in the wheat flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure they are well coated at each step. Place the breaded chicken nuggets on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the nuggets lightly with vegetable oil.
