Equipment
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 lb ground chicken breast (500g)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon white pepper (black pepper will still do)
For the tempura wrapping:
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup seltzer (Carbonated water)
- 1 teaspoon mustard (not necessary)
- 2 cups of flour
Instructions
- Start by preparing the chicken mix. Mix the ingredients together in a shallow bowl.
- Once the mix is homogeneous, wet your hands and start shaping the nuggets into the shapes you prefer. The wet hands will prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands
- Bring over a tray and spread parchment paper on it, then place your nuggets and place the tray in the freezer for about an hour.
- In a shallow bowl, mix all of your tempura ingredients. Have another bowl for the flour as well.
- Take your nuggets and coat them with the mixture in the following order: flour, batter, flour, then batter again.
- Place your coated nuggets into the frying pan. The cooking time will vary depending on the size. So, keep them in the pan until they’re golden brown.
- If you want that Mcdonald’s crunch, then avoid covering your cooked nuggets with anything.
- Serve!
