4. Pour the oil into the skillet to keep the chicken floating in it. Dip the slices into a hot mixture, fry until golden brown (about 6 minutes). After cooking, catch the nuggets with a slotted spoon and leave on paper towels to drain the fat.

1. Take your time to send the nuggets to the oil until you are sure that the composition has warmed up to the desired mark. To check, dip a piece of fillet in batter in a skillet with butter, evaluate the result. If you see golden spots appear, start cooking. In this case, the oil should sizzle and "gurgle".
2. It is known that the main secret of the successful preparation of nuggets lies in the breading. If possible, do not use a store-bought composition; you can prepare bread crumbs yourself. To do this, dry the bread in the oven, mash it with a pestle and season with spices.
3. To ensure the chicken fillet is evenly coated, transfer the bulk product to a food container. Then add pieces of meat there, close the container and shake the container for 5 seconds. The procedure is carried out with 2-3 slices at a time.
4. To shorten the cooking time, beat off the cooked fillet pieces a little. For color saturation, add ground paprika, black pepper and salt to the breading and batter. If desired, nuggets can be made in the oven at 200 degrees.

It is known that nuggets are not low-calorie meals. They are prepared by frying in a large amount of vegetable oil. For these purposes, a cauldron, deep frying pan or deep fryer is used. The hot oil must completely cover the chicken fillet so that it literally floats in the composition.

One of the most famous fast food dishes is nuggets, or in other words, breaded chicken flesh. Although such an appetizer is not entirely healthy, it is enjoyed by many gourmets. You can try it not only in catering establishments, but also can be purchased frozen in a store. But how to fry nuggets or cook them yourself at home, few people know. There are a few tricks for making and baking chicken crisps that will help you make a delicious meal with a nice crust. The appetizer is suitable not only for a simple dinner, but will also complement the festive buffet table.

How much to fry

The cooking time for nuggets depends on the appliance used for frying, the dishes selected, the temperature regime, the type of fat used, and the state of freshness of the product.

Advice! Breaded fillets are deep-fried with a large amount of vegetable oil, which should completely hide each slice.

If there is no special deep fat fryer, then you can use a deep frying pan, multicooker or oven. Frozen crispy sticks are baked without preliminary defrosting for about fifteen minutes on a moderate flame, while turning the sticks should be after the brown crust forms on the underside. For the last five minutes, it is recommended that you close the lid and reduce the heat if you are pan-frying so the meat can cook better.

Multicooker for both fresh and frozen nuggets takes about fifteen minutes. First, they are baked until a crispy layer is formed on each side, and then the temperature is changed, covered with a lid and allowed to boil so that the chicken fillet does not remain soggy.

You can fry meat sticks in the oven. After warming up the cabinet, bake should be no more than 10-15 minutes. Fish nuggets should be fried for the same amount of time, observing the cooking technology.

Frying methods

All methods of frying already formed slices take about fifteen minutes. For a golden crispy crust, it is important to first cook the dish over medium heat, then reduce it and cover the nuggets with a lid, allowing the meat to cook. You should also take into account the peculiarities of the breading, which can be crushed bread crumbs, semolina, chips, crackers and even popcorn. If the dish starts to burn, then lower the baking temperature and add oil.

Classic

Classic sticks are always made from chicken fillet, breaded in a raw chicken egg, flour and white bread crumbs. The pieces should be flat - no more than seven millimeters thick. Each slice is salted, pepper, and even marinated in soy sauce. Such nuggets should be fried in a pan with heated refined vegetable oil. It is better to serve the appetizer hot with mayonnaise, cheese sauce or ketchup.

Fresh

In order to prepare fresh homemade nuggets, you need to take a chicken fillet from one breast and cut it into small pieces in the form of rectangles. Season the meat with salt and black pepper, if desired, sprinkle with other spices to taste and leave to brew for half an hour. At this time, you need to prepare three plates, in one of which we place a raw egg and beat it, pour flour into the other, and crushed breadcrumbs in the third.

Roll each slice in flour, then in an egg, and the last step in croutons. The nuggets should be completely covered with the breading product, but the layer should be thin. It is better to shake off excess bread crumbs with light movements. After the preparation process, you can fry the snack or put it away for storage.

Frozen

Factory-made frozen semi-finished products can be purchased in a packaged pack or for weights. But at the same time, the choice should be approached carefully, since often chicken or fish sticks do not meet our expectations and are bland or tasteless. Finished nuggets should be fried a little longer than fresh ones, as they need additional time to defrost. Breadcrumbs are already present in the semi-finished product, so no additional use is needed.

Pour oil into the bottom of a deep thick-walled pan, heat it up and lay out the pieces, leaving a little distance between them. Fry on medium flame for about five minutes until the bottom surface of the product is browned, then turn the slices using a spatula or fork. When the other side is also covered with a golden crust, you can turn the nuggets over again, reduce the intensity of the oven temperature, cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking for about five minutes more.

In a frying pan

The most common way to cook at home is to fry in a pan. This technology allows not only to completely bake nuggets, but also to create a unique crispy crust.

Pans with a thick bottom and walls will cause less sticking and are more accurate to use as grease will not spill out. When the pan with a lot of oil has warmed up, then you can put the product in it and fry. It must be remembered that the main preparation is carried out with the lid open, otherwise a tasty crust may not form.

Minced meat with ham

• chicken fillet - 600 gr.;
• ham - 300 gr.;
• chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• chips - 70 gr.;
• fresh dill;

It is necessary to place chopped chicken meat, ham cut into small cubes, chopped herbs, spices in a deep container and mix thoroughly with each other.

• chicken breast - 500 gr.;

Cut the cheese into the shape of nuggets in equal quantities and place in the "pocket" of each piece, which is made with a knife. Dip the slices into beaten eggs on each side, then crush them in the sesame seeds. In order to properly fry this dish, it is better to use not a frying pan, but an oven. It is heated to 200 degrees and placed inside a baking sheet with cheese and chicken sticks, lined with baking paper. Fry for about seven minutes.

Storage
