Title: Copycat Mcdonald`s Chicken McNuggets
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Breads
Yield: 22 Nuggets
1 lb Boned, skinned chicken
- breast; in 1" cubes
1 1/2 ts Salt; divided
1/2 ts Black pepper; divided
2 lg Eggs
1/2 c Cornstarch
1 c A-P flour
1 ts Onion powder
1 ts Garlic powder
1/2 ts Dry mustard powder
1 c Water
Oil; for frying
In a food processor, pulse the chicken until it starts to break down.
Next, add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
(For a nugget with some kick, try adding spices from this spicy
nuggets recipe.) Blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth and
thick paste-like consistency.
Dip your hands in water and then grab a little less than 1 ounce of
the chicken mixture. Gently shape into a flattened nugget shape of
your choice, then set aside onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Repeat
until all of the chicken mixture has been shaped into nuggets.
Add the cornstarch to a shallow bowl. Then, take each nugget piece and
dredge it through the cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Return the
nuggets to the lined sheet pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion
powder, mustard powder and remaining salt and pepper. Add the egg and
water and beat until a smooth, thin batter forms.
Dunk each cornstarch-coated nugget into the batter, allowing the
excess to drip away before returning the nuggets to the lined sheet
pan.
When all the chicken nuggets are coated in batter, transfer the sheet
pan to the freezer and let the nuggets chill for 1 to 2 hours until
the batter is set.
When ready to cook, fill a deep fryer or deep skillet with 2-3 inches
of oil. (Newbie to frying? Here are our best frying tips.) Preheat
the oil to 350oF/175oC and then carefully lower 3 to 4 of the chilled
nuggets into the oil. Let the nuggets cook for 3-4 minutes per side,
turning once to ensure all sides cook and turn golden. Remove to a
towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
Editor`s Tip: You can transfer the cooked nuggets to a clean sheet
pan and keep them warm in your oven while frying the rest of the
nuggets.
Serve the nuggets warm with your favorite selection of dipping sauces
