Homemade McChicken Nuggets

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts (that�s 4 breast fillets)
  • 3/4 teaspoon of Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Pepper
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 Cup of Flour
  • 1 Cup finely ground Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 Cup Canola oil (for frying)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Cube chicken and place in a food processor. Blend chicken until it has all been taken apart and is well ground. Add the spices and blend a little more.
  3. Pour out flour on a plate and have your beaten eggs in a small bowl ready to work with.
  4. Roll the chicken paste mixture into small "nugget" balls (smaller than a golf ball). You should coat your hands with a little flour during this step because the ground chicken will be sticky.
  5. Roll the nugget in flour, then in egg, and then in the Panko. Then, press the ball down to make it more of a nugget shape. Set nuggets aside.
  6. Heat the oil in a heavy duty skillet until it becomes very hot. Place as many nuggets as possible in the oil, and fry for just 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden, turn and fry until the other side is golden. Remove and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake nuggets for approximately 10-12 minutes or until thoroughly cooked through. Remove to a towel-lined plate (to catch any excess oil).
