Kids Special Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

• Chicken mince 500 grams
• Salt 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper powder 1/2 teaspoon (you may also add white pepper powder)
• Garlic paste 1 teaspoon (you may also use garlic powder)
• Crushed/grated onion 1 tablespoon (strain the water from onion)
• _____________ For Coating & Frying _____________
• Bread crumbs as required
• All purpose flour 1/2 cup
• Corn flour/starch 4 tablespoon
• Salt 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg 1
• Milk 4 tablespoon
• Cooking oil for deep frying the nuggets

Directions

1. 1

   Strain out the excess water from chicken mince as much as possible. (If you are using fresh chicken mince then you don't need to do this step). 

2. 2

   Add salt, black pepper powder, garlic paste, grated and strained onion in the chicken.

3. 3

   Mix the chicken well with hands, spread some oil over the top of this mince mixture so it became easy to shape the nuggets.

4. 4

   Take a small portion (about 1 teaspoon) of mince and give it a bit shape. Do not be over careful with shape as nuggets don't require perfect shape and the oil that we use will help in shaping it. Also do not make too much thick as it will be difficult to cook the nuggets from inside.

5. 5

   Repeat the same process with complete mince mixture and keep the nuggets aside.

6. 6

   Now prepare the coating. In all purpose flour add corn flour/starch, salt and mix well. (you may add white or black pepper as well in this coating).

7. 7

   In the egg add milk and beat the egg well to combine the milk with it.

8. 8

   Put the chicken nuggets first in flour mixture and coat it well, then dip in the egg mixture, again coat with flour and remove the excess flour. Dip again in the eggs mixture and then coat with bread crumbs.

9. 9

   Repeat the same process with all chicken nuggets and keep aside.

10. 10

    Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium flame. oil should be medium hot not smoky hot as we need to cook the chicken from inside as well.

11. 11

    Fry the nuggets in this hot oil over medium flame (if required you may turn the flame to low) for 3 minutes then flip the side. Fry for 5-6 minutes or till your desired color came.

12. 12

    Take out in a plate (not over the paper towel as the nuggets will turn soggy) to cool these down a bit.

13. 13

    Easiest and delicious kids special chicken nuggets are ready to enjoy.

14. 14

    _____________ Note: You may freeze the nuggets after coting them with bread crumbs for later use. 

15. 15

    After frying the chicken nuggets for 3 minutes, take these out, let these cool down completely, then put these in the freezer. This will cut short the time in morning when you want to quickly prepare lunch for you kids.
