Background
Kids love breaded chicken nuggets. This is the classic, basic recipe which can be modified to create more sophisticated versions. These nuggets are simple so they are perfect for kids' parties, picnics and so on.
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast fillet (skinless)
- ½ cup flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
- oil for frying

- Cut the chicken into 3 cm slices or bite-size pieces. Dry them with paper kitchen towel, then season with salt and pepper.
- Put the flour into a small plastic bag.
- Tip he breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl.
- Put the egg into a bowl, beat lightly.
- Put the nuggets into the flour bag and shake it until the chicken pieces are completely covered with flour.
- Take them out of the bag, one-by-one, shake off any excess flour and, using a fork, dip each into the egg.
- Cover them with the egg completely, then lift them out with the fork, letting any excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Place them into the breadcrumbs and roll around until evenly covered.
- To get a deeper coat repeat the egg-breadcrumbs process ( this is optional).
- Place the breaded pieces onto a plate.
- Heat a couple of centimetres of oil in a deep frying pan. When the oil is hot, fry the nuggets in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Turn them over if the oil doesn't cover them completely and cook until the other side is brown too.

Tips
You can add sweet paprika or other spices or dried herbs to the flour; garlic, mustard or chilli flakes to the egg; fresh herbs, grated Parmesan, seeds or cornflakes to the breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs can be panko (very fine) or coarse - or even blended fresh bread which creates an interesting, deep coating. Basically, just experiment - it's very difficult to get it wrong ...Categories
