Step by step crispy fried sesame chicken nuggets recipe.
Chicken nugget lovers, I’ve got you all covered in this post. This is an absolutely versatile recipe and I can share number of tips to make it your own.
Tips
- If you plan to fry all chicken immediately, you can add 1 extra egg. The extra egg will turn the mixture into a tempura like dough. Then you can fry directly and skip final coating with flour.
- After coating, you can freeze chicken nugget separately on a tray. Then store inan air tight bag with extra corn flour.
- If you wish to bake this chicken nuggets instead of frying. Spread nugget on baking tray, then spray little oil on both side of nuggets. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes until done and golden.
- Lastly, you can also make a garlicky sweet and sour sauce and add these chicken nuggets in it. Serve with rice and enjoy.
