Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Chicken Nuggets.
Step 1
Start by rinsing your chicken breasts under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Next, chop the chicken into bite-sized cubes, aiming for pieces about one inch wide and half an inch thick.
Step 3
Now, let’s get that deep fryer ready! Fill it with corn oil, making sure it’s no more than one-third full, and heat the oil to a medium temperature.
Step 4
While the oil is warming up, grab a small bowl and whisk together a beaten egg and a splash of water until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually mix in the flour, toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt, stirring until you have a smooth and creamy batter that’s just begging to coat those chicken pieces.
Step 6
Once your batter is ready, dip each chicken cube into it, letting any excess drip off before carefully placing them into the hot oil.
Step 7
It’s best to fry them in small batches to ensure they cook evenly and get that perfect golden-brown color.
Step 8
In about four minutes, your chicken nuggets should be beautifully crispy and cooked through.
Step 9
To check if they’re done, simply take one out of the oil and cut it open; it should be juicy and tender inside.
Step 10
When they’re ready, transfer the nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
Step 11
Enjoy your homemade chicken nuggets, perfect for dipping or snacking anytime!.
