Simple Chicken Nuggets Recipe
Ingredients
- 400 grams ground chicken
- 1 slice of crustless white bread
- 2 eggs (1 for mixing into the batter, 1 for coating the nuggets)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Bread crumbs
- 2 cloves of garlic (or to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Seasoning: Finely mince the garlic cloves and mix them with black pepper and salt according to your taste preferences.
- Mix with Egg: Add one egg to the seasoning mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Soak the Bread: Cut the crustless white bread into small pieces and soak them in a little water until they become mushy.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, seasoned egg mixture, soaked bread, all-purpose flour, and cornstarch. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a uniform mixture.
- Steam the Mixture: Grease a heatproof container with a little oil and pour in the chicken mixture. Steam for approximately 20 minutes or until fully cooked. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the mixture; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Once cooked, remove the container from the steamer and let it cool. Once cooled, cut the steamed chicken mixture into nugget-sized pieces according to your preference.
- Coat the Nuggets: Beat the second egg in a bowl. Dip each nugget piece into the beaten egg, then coat it with bread crumbs, ensuring an even coating all around.
- Final Steps: Your chicken nuggets are now ready to be fried until golden brown. Alternatively, you can store them in the refrigerator to have a quick snack or meal on hand.
Enjoy your homemade simple chicken nuggets, perfect for a delightful snack or meal that the whole family will love!
