Chicken Nuggets

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Heat the Oil: Fill a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot with corn oil, ensuring it's no more than 1/3 full. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping a small piece of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden brown within a few seconds. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water until well combined. Gradually add the flour, toasted sesame seeds, and salt. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter, free from lumps. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Batter the Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the prepared batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully placing the chicken into the hot oil. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Fry the Nuggets: Fry the battered chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer. Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy nuggets. Fry for approximately 4 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through. To ensure doneness, remove one nugget and cut it open; the chicken should be white and opaque with no pink remaining. (15-20 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Drain and Serve: Remove the fried chicken nuggets from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. (5 minutes)
