Chicken Nuggets

Juicy chicken bites coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried until golden and crunchy. A high-protein snack that kids love too.

Ingredients

• 600 g raw chicken breast
• 60 g (½ cup) white flour
• 100 g (2) eggs
• 150 g (1½ cups) breadcrumbs
• 90 g (scant ½ cup) sunflower oil
• 3 g (1 tsp) sweet paprika
• 3 g (1 tsp) garlic powder
• 6 g (1 tsp) salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and cut it into about 24 pieces of roughly 3 cm.

2. 2

   Toss the chicken with half of the salt, the sweet paprika and the garlic powder, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Set up three bowls: the flour mixed with the remaining salt, the beaten eggs, and the breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Dredge each piece in flour and shake off the excess, dip it in the egg, then press it into the breadcrumbs to coat on all sides.

5. 5

   Heat one third of the sunflower oil in a large heavy-based pan over medium heat. Fry one third of the nuggets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden outside and cooked through.

6. 6

   Fry the remaining nuggets the same way in two more batches, adding another third of the oil for each batch.

7. 7

   Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and serve hot.
