Step 1: Preparing the Chicken
Begin by selecting fresh chicken breasts to create your nuggets. Cut the chicken into small, even-sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly. It’s important to pat each piece dry using paper towels. This helps the coating stick better, resulting in a crispier texture after frying.
Step 2: Setting Up the Breading Station
Create an efficient breading station by arranging three shallow bowls in a row. In the first bowl, combine all-purpose flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for extra flavor. Beat an egg in the second bowl until smooth. Fill the third bowl with bread crumbs. This setup will streamline the process of coating the chicken.
Step 3: Coating the Nuggets
Start by dredging each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully covered. Shake off any excess flour before dipping the chicken into the beaten egg. Allow the excess egg to drip off, then move the chicken to the bowl of bread crumbs. Press the crumbs onto the chicken pieces to ensure they adhere well. Repeat this process until all chicken pieces are coated.
Step 4: Heating the Oil
In a deep frying pot or large skillet, heat approximately 2 cups of oil over medium-high heat. The ideal temperature for frying is around 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of bread crumbs into it; they should sizzle immediately. Proper oil temperature is key to achieving perfectly fried nuggets.
Step 5: Frying the Nuggets
Carefully add the breaded chicken nuggets to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the nuggets in batches for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning them occasionally to achieve an even golden brown color. Once cooked, ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the nuggets using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Step 6: Preparing the Sides
While the nuggets cool slightly, prepare your sides for the combo. For crispy French fries, either fry or bake them according to package instructions until they are golden brown and crunchy. For coleslaw, mix shredded cabbage and carrots in a bowl, then toss with a dressing made from mayonnaise, vinegar, and a hint of sugar. This refreshing side complements the rich flavor of the nuggets.
Step 7: Serving the Combo
Arrange the freshly fried chicken nuggets on a serving platter alongside the French fries and coleslaw. To enhance the meal, include a selection of dipping sauces such as barbecue, honey mustard, ranch, or a spicy aioli. This variety allows everyone to customize their experience and makes the meal more enjoyable.
