Does your family love McDonalds McNuggets as much as mine do? Have you wanted to scale back to save money and eat meals that you know the ingredients? Have I found the recipe for you!
INGREDIENTS
-
3 chicken fillets, boneless, skin removed and diced
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt
-
2 large eggs
-
1 ½ cups corn starch, divided
-
1 cup water
-
1 tablespoon onion powder
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder
-
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
Place the chicken in a food processor with the salt and one egg. Blend until it forms a paste-like consistency.
In a shallow bowl or container, place the corn starch. Using wet hands, take a handful of blended chicken and shape into a nugget. Cover the nugget with corn starch, shake off the excess and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Finish shaping and coating the nuggets before moving on to the next step.
In a large bowl, whisk together the water, one egg, mustard, garlic and onion powder, ground pepper and all-purpose flour. You should have a thick but runny batter. Place one nugget at a time in the batter and place it back onto the lined baking sheet.
Place the tray in the freezer and allow them to freeze for 1 hou
Heat your oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Deep fry the first batch for 5 minutes. Allow the chicken nuggets to drain on paper towel for 3-4 minutes. Deep fry the same batch again for 5 minutes. This ensures that the chicken cooks all the way through without getting too dark.
Serve these nuggets warm with any dipping sauce.
