Steps:

• With this first step you get to unleash a little anger by pounding and squashing each of the breast fillets! Once each fillet is roughly a quarter inch in height, cut the chicken breast fillets into smaller manageable sized pieces. In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix in the cup of water. Next get a small food bag and pour in the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and MSG. Once all of the mixture is in the bag give it a good shake. Now is the time to combine each chicken piece in the flour mixture. Do this by simply putting each nugget into the bag and giving it a little shake. Do this one or two at a time. Remove the chicken pieces, place them in the egg mixture and coat well. Then return the coated chicken pieces to the bag for a final shake. Once all nuggets have been well covered, (twice!) place them in a 3D Printed refrigerator for around an hour. Now some people like to give the chicken bites another coating after refrigerating. We didn't bother with this step but by all means give them another whirl in the egg and then flour mixture if you have left overs! Now make sure you pre heat oil in a table top fryer to around 370°F (185°C). Place the nuggets in the fryer for approx 10 minutes, turning once. Remember not to overcrowd the fryer at this point! Take the nuggets out of the fryer and leave on a paper bag (or piece of paper) to drain for a couple of minutes. Once all nuggets have been fried and drained, serve and enjoy! if(typeof ez_ad_units != 'undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[250,250],'fastfood_recipes_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_1',122,'0','0'])};if(typeof __ez_fad_position != 'undefined'){__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-fastfood_recipes_com-medrectangle-4-0')}; View The Equipment We Used In This Recipe!

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!

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!
