Chicken Nuggets

To make the chicken nuggets, first clean the chicken breast from any cartilage and small bones, then cut it into irregular cubes 1. Remove the crust from the bread and cut the crumb into cubes as well. Place the crumb 2 and the chicken in a mixer 3.

Add the garlic and onion powder 4, sweet paprika 5, salt, and pepper 6.

Also add the oil 7 and mustard 8, then blend everything until you get a homogeneous mixture 9.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and with wet hands, take portions of about 1.4 oz each. Round the mixture between your palms 10 and then flatten it slightly 11. Place the nuggets on a tray lined with parchment paper 12 and set aside (in summer, store them in the refrigerator).

In a bowl, pour the flour with the salt 13 and pepper, then add the cold water gradually while mixing with a whisk 14. Mix until you get a smooth, lump-free consistency 15.

In a separate dish, coarsely crumble the corn flakes with your hands 16 and pour the semolina into a third bowl. You are ready for breading: coat the nuggets on both sides first with the semolina 17 and then with the batter 18.

Finally, cover them with the crumbled corn flakes 19. Proceed in this way to bread all the nuggets, placing them on the tray 20. At this point, heat the vegetable oil to 320°F and immerse a few nuggets at a time 21.

Fry for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown, then drain 22 and transfer to paper towels 23. Salt to taste and serve your chicken nuggets hot and crispy 24!
