Chicken Nuggets Like McDonald's

Chicken nuggets like McDonald's are chunks of chicken breast in a crispy coating made from unsweetened corn flakes, deep-fried to golden perfection. They turn out delicious, juicy, and very budget-friendly. I highly recommend making these. Enjoy!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 chicken breast
• 2 eggs
• 300 g unsweetened corn flakes
• 100 g flour
• salt and spices to taste
• 300 ml vegetable oil for frying

Method

 

1. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces, about 2×2 cm, and marinate to taste - for example with spices and vegetable oil.
2. Crush the unsweetened corn flakes with a rolling pin into crumbs, not too fine.
3. Prepare three bowls: flour in the first, two beaten eggs with spices in the second, and the corn flake crumbs in the third.
4. Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan in a layer no more than 2 cm deep and heat it. Test with a skewer: bubbles should form around it.
5. Coat each piece of chicken first in flour, then dip in egg, then coat in the corn flake crumbs.
6. Deep-fry the nuggets on both sides until golden, then place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
   

Tips

• Crush the corn flakes with a rolling pin into crumbs, but not too fine - this way the coating turns out really crispy.
• Check the oil is ready with a skewer: if bubbles start forming around it when dipped in, it's ready to fry.
• Place the finished nuggets on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
