Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipes

Steps:

• Place the flour in a resealable plastic bag and season with the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken pieces in the bag with the flour and toss to coat (work in batches). Transfer the breadcrumbs to a rimmed plate, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Remove a piece of chicken from the flour, dip in the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, gently pressing the crumbs into the chicken, and set on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the pan (work in batches if needed) and brown on each side, about 8 minutes total. Use a spatula to transfer the chicken nuggets to a paper-towel-lined plate. Salt while hot and serve.

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, combine the first 6 ingredients. Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness, then cut into 1-1/2-in. pieces. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, to dish and turn to coat., In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil in batches until meat is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a wire cooling rack on top and spray with cooking spray.
• Put chicken into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add ranch dressing; seal and shake bag to coat chicken evenly.
• Mix panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley together in a bowl; pour into bag with chicken. Seal and shake bag to coat thoroughly. Remove from bag; place on rack in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn broiler on high; broil until crispy, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• In a plastic bag, mix the flour, seasoned salt and some salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix the eggs with 2 tablespoons water. In a separate bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
• Shake the chicken pieces in the bag to coat. In batches, dip them in the egg wash, then in the breadcrumbs.
• Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a few breadcrumbs dropped in the oil start to sizzle immediately. Fry the chicken, in batches if needed, until golden brown and cooked through, a couple minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel and serve with ketchup.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1x1x1/2 inch pieces.
• Fill a deep fryer with corn oil, no more than 1/3 full. Heat to medium heat.
• Place egg and water in a small bowl and mix well. Add the flour, sesame seeds and salt, stirring until a smooth batter is formed.
• Dip chicken pieces in batter and drain off any excess. Add battered chicken, a few pieces at a time, to the hot oil. Fry about 4 minutes or until golden brown and done (remove chicken from oil to test). Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Have a rimmed baking sheet (cookie sheet) on hand.
• Set up an assembly line for breading the chicken: Place the chicken pieces on a plate; sprinkle with a little salt. In 3 bowls beside this plate, place the flour in the first, the eggs in the second, and the panko in the third. Beat the eggs with a fork for a few seconds. Place a clean plate at the end of the line.
• Dip each piece of chicken into the flour to coat it, dip into the eggs, roll it in the panko, dip back into the eggs, and finally roll it in the panko again to coat it. Place the breaded chicken on the clean plate at the end of the assembly line. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
• In a medium non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat (I suggest not using extra-virgin olive oil to fry with, because it doesn't heat the way regular olive oil does). Fry the chicken pieces, a few at a time so that you don't overcrowd the pan, turning often, for about 3 minutes or until they are golden all over. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to the baking sheet. Cook them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
