Seasoning and Assembling the Chicken

  • Get 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of ground chicken mixture. Roll it into a ball shape and then flatten it out.

Dredging the nugget

  • Soaked the chicken ball into the flour, followed by the egg then the breadcrumb.
  • Transfer to the plate and then repeat the rest.

Deep frying the Nugget

  • Once the oil is hot, place the uncooked nugget into the oil
  • Let it deep fry till it turns golden brown.
  • Let it deep fry till it turns golden brown.
  • Serve it with mayonnaise, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.

Notes

  • Using ground chicken from Thigh is much more tender than using the chicken breast. But you can use chicken breast if you want.
  • You can use block mozzarella cheese instead of shredded cheese.
  • Make sure you wet your hand with water before assembling the chicken. This will prevent the ground chicken from sticking to your hand.
  • You can make your sandwich using this chicken nugget, and serve it with fries.
