"This is my familyâs take on the classic chicken nuggets. We often like to experiment with the spices so that thereâs always a change of palate and you are also most welcome to add/substitute spices to best fit your taste. I do hope youâll try this version of homemade chicken nuggets and do let me know your thoughts in the comments section."
Difficulty
Easy đIngredients
Utensils
knife, blender, baking sheet
Step 1/8
- 300 g chicken breasts
- knife
Wash and cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces.
Step 2/8
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 1½ tsp smoked paprika powder
- 12½ ml vodka
- salt
Sprinkle the garlic powder, the paprika, salt as per your taste and the vodka and mix well. If this is kid-friendly, you can skip the alcohol altogether. Allow to marinate for at least two hours in the refrigerator however if you can prepare this and allow it to rest overnight, awesome!
Step 3/8
- 50 g panko breadcrumbs
- 35 g potato chips
- blender
In a hand blender, add the potato chips and the breadcrumbs and pulse until well-combined. Donât pulverise it too much. It should remain coarse to feel.
Step 4/8
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F)
Step 5/8
- 1½ eggs
Beat the eggs and keep aside. In another dish, keep the flour ready. Finally, in a third dish, empty your breadcrumbs and chips mixture from the blender.
Step 6/8
Hereâs a handy tip. I like to use my left hand for the dry ingredients and the right hand for the wet. Give the chicken a good mix and then take a piece and coat it with the egg. Then cover it with the flour and shake off the excess. Give the same piece a quick coat in the egg once more and then coat with the breadcrumbs mixture. Your chicken nugget is ready!
Step 7/8
- baking sheet
Coat all the pieces of chicken in this similar manner and place on a baking sheet lined with butter paper. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes or until golden brown. You might have to turn them over halfway.
Step 8/8
Serve hot with a dipping of your choice.
