Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Mix the egg yolk, ground chicken, and salt together in a large bowl.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Shape the chicken mixture into small nuggets, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them on the baking sheet.
  4. Coat each nugget with cornstarch and set them back on the baking sheet.
  5. Whisk together the flour, water, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and egg to make a thick batter.
  6. Dip each nugget into the batter, shaking off any extra, and put them back on the lined baking sheet.
  7. Freeze them for 1-2 hours to firm up.
  8. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F.
  9. Fry the chicken nuggets in batches for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  10. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to take the nuggets out of the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
  11. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For extra crunch, double-dip your nuggets. Use fresh ground chicken for the best flavor.
