Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Tools

What I need to prepare

1 Knife
1 Chopping board
1 Chopper or the Bimby
2 Bowls
1 Pan

Steps

To prepare

Start with the chicken breast, which you need to cut into pieces, making sure to remove any small bones and tendons.
Place it in a food processor along with the egg and chop it finely, as much as you can.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, where you will add the breadcrumbs, roast seasonings to taste, a pinch of salt and pepper, mix with your hands or a spoon.
Form balls about 3/4 inch in diameter.
Now in another bowl, prepare the breading by combining breadcrumbs or cornflake flour, season to taste with salt and seasonings, smoked paprika, and turmeric, and mix well. You will see a golden breading emerge. If you want a crunchier effect, I recommend using the cornflakes ground into flour for the breading.
Take a breaded ball and shape it into a point with the fold between your thumb and index finger, press lightly with the thumb and index finger of the other hand to flatten
Flatten the base and here
We’ve formed the first one.
For cooking in an electric oven, arrange the Nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 355°F for 20 minutes.
Or in a pan with plenty of oil until golden on both sides, it will take about 2 minutes per side,
Or in an air fryer with a spray of oil, at 400°F for 10 minutes after preheating, and halfway through cooking you need to turn them.
You can also cook them in a traditional deep fryer at 400°F until they appear golden.
Transfer the chicken nuggets to a sheet of absorbent paper to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of baked potatoes or salad.
Place the chopped chicken breast with the egg and chop for 20 seconds at speed 10.
Then add the breadcrumbs, half a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, and seasonings.
Mix for 2 minutes at speed 5.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, knead and form balls about 3/4 inch in diameter.
From here on, follow the above cooking instructions.
