Chicken Nuggets With Herb Breading Recipes

CHICKEN NUGGETS WITH HERB BREADING

Steps:

• Split the chicken breasts in half down the center. Trim them neatly to remove peripheral membranes and bits of fat. Cut each breast half into six pieces of equal size.
• Put the egg, water, salt and pepper in a bowl and beat well to blend.
• Put the bread crumbs on a large platter. Add the sage, thyme, cumin and pepper, and blend well.
• Add the pieces of chicken to the egg mixture and toss to coat well. Drain off the excess. Transfer the chicken pieces to the bread-crumb mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Put the coated pieces in another dish, separating them so that they do not touch.
• Heat the oil for deep frying in a cast-iron skillet. There should be about 1 inch of oil. When hot (at 360 degrees) but not smoking, add about one-third of the chicken pieces. Do not overcrowd. Cook, stirring with a slotted or perforated spoon so that the pieces brown evenly. It will take about 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
• Transfer the nuggets to paper towels and drain.
• Continue adding batches of chicken pieces and cook until all the chicken is done. Serve with tomato-horseradish sauce.

BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch sized pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well. Put melted butter in a bowl or dish for dipping.
• Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the well-coated chicken pieces on a lightly greased cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

THE BEST EVER CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Heat 1 inch oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a large skillet or saucepan.
• Stir together the flour, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dip the chicken pieces individually into the beaten eggs before pressing into the flour mixture to coat; shake off the excess flour. Place the coated chicken pieces onto a plate until all the chicken has been coated.
• Cook the chicken in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink in the center.

HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• 1. Cut your chicken breast into one inch pieces. Marinate chicken pieces in 1/2 cup pickle juice and 1 tsp of granulated garlic for at least two hours.
• 2. Set up your dredging station. Bowl #1 Flour (can season with salt and pepper) Bowl #2 One egg mixed with 6 Tbs of water Bowl #3 Breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, granulate garlic, parsley and dill
• 3. Preheat Deep non stick pan to 375 degrees ( I use my electric skillet but any large skillet will do). Drain chicken in a colander. Dip in flour, then egg wash then breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat with remaining chicken pieces
• 4. When oil is heated fry chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side till golden brown. I did this in two batches. Place first batch on paper towel to drain excess oil. Let chicken sit for about 5 minutes before serving....this helps to set the crust.
