MC DONALD'S CHICKEN MC NUGGETS (COPYCAT)



Mc Donald's Chicken Mc Nuggets (Copycat) image

My homestyle copycat recipe for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. PLEASE NOTE: The Nutritional Information listing here is inaccurate -- since only a fraction of flour and salt actually end up in the finished product. So be aware -- the suggested sodium, sugar, carbohydrate and calorie levels are ridiculously exaggerated!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h50m

Yield 2-3 lbs., 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 lb frozen boneless chicken tenderloins, thawed
4 cups cold water
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/2 cup pre-sifted all-purpose flour, plus
1/3 cup pre-sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt (use Lawry's only)
1 tablespoon fine cornflour (or fine masa harina flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine black pepper
1/4 teaspoon fine white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
vegetable oil (3 parts)
vegetable shortening (1 part )

Steps:

  • THAW chicken breast tenderloins; POUND tenderloins if necessary to 1/3-inch thickness, between sheets of plastic wrap using a flat mallet; CUT chicken into 2-inch x 1 1/4-inch wide various shapes, using kitchen shears; PLACE chicken into prepared BRINE (4 cups cold water, 2 teaspoons fine sea salt); SOAK chicken pieces in brine for 2 hours; BLOT dry.
  • MEASURE the BREADING ingredients into another medium bowl; PLACE breading bowl into working area.
  • WHISK the BATTER ingredients together until smooth; PLACE batter bowl into working area (whisk batter often while using to refresh consistency).
  • COAT a few chicken pieces at a time in the BATTER mixture until evenly battered.
  • DROP a few pieces of chicken at a time into the BREADING mixture using tongs; TURN chicken gently using tongs in the breading until evenly coated; REMOVE breaded chicken with tongs individually and place onto a breading rack (I use a food-industry grade breading rack). NOTE: YOU MAY DOUBLE-BREAD THESE IF YOU PREFER; SIMPLY REPEAT THE BATTERING AND BREADING STEPS (MAKE SURE YOU'VE ADDED ONE EXTRA TEASPOON POWDERED SUGAR FIRST).
  • IF FREEZING MCNUGGETS FOR FUTURE FRYING: PLACE rack of breaded chicken loosely wrapped into freezer until frozen; TRANSFER frozen McNuggets to Ziploc bag(s) until needed.
  • PREHEAT the DEEP-FRYING fat to immerse chicken completely in a deep heavy pot, or manufacturer's recommended amount of fat in deep-fryer; SLOWLY heat oil in gradual increments oil to 350°F until preheated; ADD chicken carefully using tongs, to elevated frying basket (outside of frying oil) without overcrowding.
  • FRY chicken nuggets until golden-crisp and fully cooked (longer for frozen McNuggets, naturally), depending on chicken portion/size until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and juices run clear (DO NOT OVERCOOK!).
  • RAISE frying basket when chicken is cooked and allow to drain; PLACE chicken nuggets on absorbent paper NOTE: To keep chicken warm before serving, place chicken on a rack-fitted baking sheet covered with a sheet of foil in preheated 175°F oven.
  • SERVE with your favorite dipping sauces and/or other condiments and enjoy!

COPYCAT MCDONALD'S CHICKEN NUGGETS RECIPE BY TASTY



Copycat Mcdonald's Chicken Nuggets Recipe by Tasty image

There's no need to drive over to McDonald's for a late night snack-just make your favorite chicken nuggets at home with this copycat recipe.

Provided by Bella Lopez

Categories     Snacks

Time 56m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground chicken
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne
vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup all purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch, plus 1 tablespoon
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 large egg
1 ⅓ cups soda water
Dipping sauce of choice, for serving

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Mix until well combined.
  • Scoop the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls and flatten into nugget shapes. Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Fill a medium pot a little more than halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk in the egg, then add the soda water a little at a time so it doesn't overflow. The batter should have a slightly loose consistency, similar to crepe batter.
  • Remove the chicken from the freezer. Working in batches of 4-5 at a time, dip each chicken nugget in the batter twice, then transfer to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tan in color. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the nuggets to the oil in batches and fry again for 2 minutes more, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
  • Enjoy!

MCDONALD'S CHICKEN SELECTS COPYCAT (CHICKEN NUGGETS)



Mcdonald's Chicken Selects Copycat (Chicken Nuggets) image

These are the easiest little things to make and they rival McDonald's chicken selects. I usually increase the spice amounts but I am posting this as it was originally written. I also included the recipe for the homemade honey mustard dipping sauce in the last step. Prep time includes the time needed to let the batter stand. I found this on "The Family Kitchen" site and it was originally posted by ANGIE MCGOWAN.
