Step 1: Preparing the Chicken
Start by selecting fresh chicken breast for the nuggets. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even cooking. Pat each piece dry with paper towels to remove moisture. This step helps the coating stick better during frying, which is essential for achieving a crispy texture.
Step 2: Setting Up the Breading Station
Create a breading station by placing three shallow bowls in a row. In the first bowl, mix all-purpose flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In the second bowl, beat an egg until smooth. Fill the third bowl with bread crumbs. This organized setup allows for efficient coating of the chicken pieces.
Step 3: Coating the Nuggets
Begin by taking each piece of chicken and dredging it in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating. Shake off any excess flour before dipping the chicken into the beaten egg. Let the excess egg drip off, then transfer the chicken to the bowl of bread crumbs. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well. Repeat this process until all pieces are coated.
Step 4: Heating the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 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 upon contact. This ensures that the nuggets will fry properly, achieving that coveted golden color.
Step 5: Frying the Nuggets
Carefully place the breaded chicken nuggets into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook the nuggets for about 4 to 5 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly. They should become golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Once fully cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Step 6: Preparing the Sides
While the nuggets cool, prepare the sides for the combo. For crispy French fries, either fry or bake them according to package instructions until golden and crispy. For coleslaw, mix shredded cabbage and carrots in a bowl, then toss with mayonnaise, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. This refreshing side provides a nice contrast to the savory nuggets.
Step 7: Serving the Combo
Arrange the chicken nuggets on a serving platter alongside the French fries and coleslaw. For added enjoyment, include a selection of dipping sauces like barbecue, honey mustard, ranch, or a spicy sriracha. This variety enhances the meal, making it perfect for any occasion, whether casual or celebratory.
Step 8: Enjoying the Meal
Your 6 Nuggets Combo is now ready to be savored! Enjoy the crispy texture and juicy chicken with every bite. Whether shared with friends or indulged in solo, this meal is sure to please. Each component—from the nuggets to the sides—combines to create a delicious and satisfying dining experience!
