A healthier alternative to fast food, these chicken nuggets are made with chicken breast, flavorful seasonings, and a crispy coating. Perfect for a snack or meal, these nuggets can be fried or baked to your liking.
1: Blend your chicken in a food processor with all of the seasonings. If using ground chicken, you can just mix the seasonings together without using the food processor.
2: When done mixing together, shape into nuggets. You can use a 1/4 cup to measure them, or just eyeball them. Wet your hands to make them easier to shape.
3: After you’ve shaped your nuggets, dip them into the cornstarch mixture and place onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
4: Place into the freezer and allow to firm up for about 30 minutes.
5: While in the freezer, make your wet batter.
6: If frying, heat your oil to 350°F. You can also bake them in the oven at 400°F, but they won’t be as crispy.
7: If frying, dip your nuggets into the batter just before frying, then place into the oil. Fry until golden brown. If baking, bake until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
8: Serve with your favorite sauces and enjoy!
