8 delicious homemade chicken nugget recipes

Classic recipe for fried chicken nuggets in olive oil

Most often, chicken nuggets are prepared according to the classic recipe. They turn out tender juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. For breading, it is best to use breadcrumbs, which will make the treat golden brown and appetizing.

What ingredients will you need?

For the dish you need to take:

• breast – 670-700 g;
• eggs (large size) – 2 pcs.;
• flour – 45-50 g;
• crumbled bread – 130-150 g;
• salt, granulated garlic, pepper - 1 tsp each;
• oil.

A large amount of vegetable oil is used so that the nuggets are cooked as if deep-fried.

Step-by-step cooking process

The cooking process includes several stages:

1. Chicken meat is not cut into thin large pieces.
2. In a small bowl you need to beat raw eggs. You can use either a regular fork or a mixer for this.

3. For the first breading, combine flour, granulated garlic, salt and spices in a plate. In addition to pepper, you can use any others to your liking.
4. For the second breading, crumble bread crumbs are poured into a separate container.
5. The prepared poultry pieces are first coated in the first breading. Then they are dipped in the egg mixture so that it completely covers the chicken on all sides.
6. Lastly, the bird needs to be rolled in breadcrumbs, shaking off the excess. Otherwise, they will crumble when frying in oil and burn.
7. A large amount of oil is heated in a saucepan. When it is hot enough, you can add the chicken to the fat. Breaded poultry pieces will fry over medium-low heat for 6-7 minutes.

The finished treat is placed on a plate covered with paper towels. This will help remove excess fat.

Rules for serving dishes, decoration

Juicy golden brown chicken pieces go well with any side dishes. They should also be served with ketchup or any favorite sauce of your choice.

Homemade chicken breast nuggets

Let's start with the simplest recipe. Even a young and inexperienced housewife can easily master the preparation of this dish. The nuggets are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It's simply delicious.

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast fillet – 500 g
• Eggs - 3 pcs.
• Breadcrumbs - 200 gr
• Salt, pepper - to taste
• Odorless vegetable oil – 100-150 ml

Preparation:

1. Wash the fillet and dry it with a napkin or paper towel. Then cut into equal pieces slightly smaller than a matchbox (by eye) and about 1 cm thick. Salt and pepper them.

2. Break the eggs into a deep bowl, add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and ground black pepper (literally on the tip of a knife). Stir until smooth. All that remains is to prepare the breadcrumbs.

You can buy store-bought ones or make your own from a stale loaf. I put the loaf pieces in a blender and they grind wonderfully. By the way, you can also make breading from store-bought crackers soaked in different flavors.

3. Now dip each piece of fillet thoroughly in the egg mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs. Then dip into the mixture a second time and roll in breading again.

4. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan, heat it thoroughly to a boil and lay out the meat preparations. The oil should cover the pieces to about half (a little more is possible).

5. Fry the pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then place the finished nuggets on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. All that remains is to serve it with any side dish.

Chicken breast nuggets with semolina in a frying pan

Nagenets made from chicken breast fillet (their recipe is published later in the article) are delicious with semolina instead of breadcrumbs.

• oil.

Instead of a ready-made spice mixture, you can use granulated garlic, turmeric and oregano.

Step-by-step cooking process

The cooking process includes several stages:

1. The prepared (washed and dried) fillet should be cut into small pieces. This should be done against the grain. The thickness of each piece should be about 1 cm.
2. To marinate the bird, sprinkle it with pepper and spices, salt it, mix it, and then leave it cool for 17-20 minutes.
3. The eggs must be beaten in one bowl. In the second - add flour. In the third - semolina.
4. You need to start dredging the chicken pieces with flour. Then they are alternately dipped into beaten eggs and semolina. During the process, each piece of fillet should be pierced with a fork in several places at once.

The nuggets are then fried in hot oil.

The most delicious recipes

Classic recipe

Take:

• 500 grams of chicken fillet;
• 1 chicken egg;
• 2 tablespoons milk;
• a pinch of salt and just a little black pepper;
• grated crackers;
• sunflower oil.

The cooking method is as follows. Cut half a kilo of chicken fillet into small pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper to your taste. Beat the egg with a whisk or fork, add a little milk and mix.

The cooking procedure is simple, even a novice cook can handle it: the chicken is dipped in a mixture of milk and eggs, and then in breadcrumbs and fried in a frying pan until crispy. The finished nuggets need to be cooled a little.

You have prepared a tasty and nutritious dish that goes well with any type of side dish. Chicken can be served with a salad of fresh vegetables, pasta, any porridge, mashed potatoes, boiled pieces of broccoli, etc.

You can sprinkle the nuggets with green peas, sprinkle with lemon juice, put pieces of cheese next to them on a plate, and a variety of sauces are also suitable - from ketchup and adjika to garlic or mustard sauce.

A common option is French fries with nuggets (as in McDonald's and other fast food restaurants).

On kefir

According to this recipe, you should cut the fillet into long bars, pour kefir or yogurt without additives and place it on the top shelf of the refrigerator for half an hour. Then take it out and add salt.

How to fry nuggets? Roll each block one by one in breadcrumbs, then place in a greased pan (can be on foil or parchment) and bake at 220 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes.

With cheese

Take:

• half a kilo of chicken breast;
• 150 grams of hard cheese;
• a little curry and salt;
• 2 eggs;
• sunflower oil for frying;

Cut the breast into pieces, add salt (taking into account that the cheese is salty), sprinkle with curry. Make a cut in all the pieces (in the form of a pocket), insert a small slice of cheese into them, roll in beaten eggs and then in breading.

At the end, place the nuggets on a baking sheet and bake at 180-200 degrees Celsius in the oven for 3 minutes. Turn over once, keep in the oven for another 3 minutes and place on a plate to cool.

You can prepare such nuggets according to another recipe; only 3-4 stale pieces of loaf are added to the ingredients. In this case, the cheese must be grated on a fine grater and beaten with eggs until a homogeneous paste is formed.

Grind the stale pieces of loaf by hand, in a meat grinder or in a blender. Rub the chicken fillet with salt and pepper and leave to marinate for 10-20 minutes. Then dip them in a mixture of cheese and egg, and then in breadcrumbs and fry the chicken pieces on both sides in oil until crusty.

With garlic and corn flake breading

For 6 skinless chicken breasts (about 700 grams) you need to take 50 milliliters of milk, 1 egg white, half a cup of corn flakes (unglazed), a little garlic, salt and black pepper to taste.

First, turn on the oven and bring the temperature to 200°C. Grease a baking sheet with sunflower or olive oil. Dry the chicken pieces using a napkin, add salt and pepper to taste. Then separate the egg yolk from the white, mix the latter with milk. Pour the corn flakes, previously crushed into crumbs, into a plate.

Dip each piece of bird into the milk and egg mixture, then roll in crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and then bake for about half an hour until crispy.

How to make nuggets at home from minced meat? Wash the fillet, dry it and cut into pieces. Grind in a meat grinder or blender until smooth, so that you get small pieces. Salt, pepper, add other spices to taste. Beat eggs with salt in one bowl, add flour to another.

Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan. Form small balls or cutlets, dip them in the egg, then in wheat flour, again in the egg and in breadcrumbs (or dried bread crumbs).

Place them in a frying pan and fry until crispy on both sides. After frying, place on a paper towel to dry from excess oil.

With sesame

Homemade chicken nuggets

Print Step 1

To prepare homemade nuggets, take chicken breast, chicken eggs, any type of wheat flour, breadcrumbs, refined vegetable oil, dried granulated garlic, salt, ground black pepper. In addition, you can use any seasonings you like, not just the ones I indicated.

Step 2

So, cut the chicken breast (without skin and bones, of course) into fairly large and not thin pieces. Well, you can probably imagine what finished chicken nuggets look like.

Step 3

Break medium-sized raw chicken eggs into a small bowl.

Step 4

Now let’s just vigorously swirl them with a fork to break up the sticky texture of the protein. If you want, you can beat the eggs with a mixer or a whisk - it will be even better.

Step 5

Let's prepare the first breading - it will be any type of wheat flour, dried garlic (or any other seasonings to your taste), salt and ground black pepper. Mix everything.

Step 6 Step 7

So, bread the chicken fillet. First, roll each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 8

After this, we place the meat in the chicken eggs so that they completely envelop the pieces.

Step 9

And immediately roll the chicken fillet in breadcrumbs.

Step 10

In this way we bread all the pieces of chicken, carefully removing the excess breadcrumbs so that they do not crumble and burn in the oil. By the way, such a preparation can be frozen on a tray, then, once the pieces are frozen, put into a bag and cook as needed.

Step 11

In order to fry chicken nuggets, we need a decent amount of refined vegetable (I use sunflower) oil. Pour it into a pan of suitable size (preferably narrow and tall, so that less oil is consumed), and warm it up thoroughly. When the oil is hot enough, add the breaded pieces of meat into it. Do not add too much at once so that the nuggets cook evenly. Fry over medium heat until golden brown - about 5 minutes. But I won’t tell you the exact time here, if only because I don’t know what size the pieces of meat you will have and what the oil temperature is.

Step 12

Place the finished golden chicken nuggets on paper napkins or a towel to absorb excess oil. Then deep-fry the rest of the breaded chicken fillet pieces in the same way.

Step 13

We serve this simple but very tasty appetizer hot, although I personally like chicken nuggets cold. Any sauces of your choice, fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, side dishes to taste - almost everything goes with these juicy and at the same time crispy pieces of chicken fillet.
