MC DONALD'S CHICKEN MC NUGGETS (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• THAW chicken breast tenderloins; POUND tenderloins if necessary to 1/3-inch thickness, between sheets of plastic wrap using a flat mallet; CUT chicken into 2-inch x 1 1/4-inch wide various shapes, using kitchen shears; PLACE chicken into prepared BRINE (4 cups cold water, 2 teaspoons fine sea salt); SOAK chicken pieces in brine for 2 hours; BLOT dry.
• MEASURE the BREADING ingredients into another medium bowl; PLACE breading bowl into working area.
• WHISK the BATTER ingredients together until smooth; PLACE batter bowl into working area (whisk batter often while using to refresh consistency).
• COAT a few chicken pieces at a time in the BATTER mixture until evenly battered.
• DROP a few pieces of chicken at a time into the BREADING mixture using tongs; TURN chicken gently using tongs in the breading until evenly coated; REMOVE breaded chicken with tongs individually and place onto a breading rack (I use a food-industry grade breading rack). NOTE: YOU MAY DOUBLE-BREAD THESE IF YOU PREFER; SIMPLY REPEAT THE BATTERING AND BREADING STEPS (MAKE SURE YOU'VE ADDED ONE EXTRA TEASPOON POWDERED SUGAR FIRST).
• IF FREEZING MCNUGGETS FOR FUTURE FRYING: PLACE rack of breaded chicken loosely wrapped into freezer until frozen; TRANSFER frozen McNuggets to Ziploc bag(s) until needed.
• PREHEAT the DEEP-FRYING fat to immerse chicken completely in a deep heavy pot, or manufacturer's recommended amount of fat in deep-fryer; SLOWLY heat oil in gradual increments oil to 350°F until preheated; ADD chicken carefully using tongs, to elevated frying basket (outside of frying oil) without overcrowding.
• FRY chicken nuggets until golden-crisp and fully cooked (longer for frozen McNuggets, naturally), depending on chicken portion/size until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and juices run clear (DO NOT OVERCOOK!).
• RAISE frying basket when chicken is cooked and allow to drain; PLACE chicken nuggets on absorbent paper NOTE: To keep chicken warm before serving, place chicken on a rack-fitted baking sheet covered with a sheet of foil in preheated 175°F oven.
• SERVE with your favorite dipping sauces and/or other condiments and enjoy!

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Mix until well combined.
• Scoop the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls and flatten into nugget shapes. Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
• Fill a medium pot a little more than halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Whisk in the egg, then add the soda water a little at a time so it doesn't overflow. The batter should have a slightly loose consistency, similar to crepe batter.
• Remove the chicken from the freezer. Working in batches of 4-5 at a time, dip each chicken nugget in the batter twice, then transfer to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tan in color. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the nuggets to the oil in batches and fry again for 2 minutes more, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a clean paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
• Enjoy!
