Crispy Chicken Nuggets 香脆鸡柳



Do you know what chicken nuggets are made of? Mine is just chicken meat and some simple seasoning. Cooking for my boy, I'd never buy frozen nuggets, do you know why?

Next time when you pop by the supermarket, get a pack of frozen nuggets and read the ingredients label on the packaging. You'll find the answer there ;)

There are many ways to make nuggets at home. I have tried making it with minced chicken and vegetables, curry flavor nuggets, alphabet nuggets, Parmesan cheese nuggets...etc because my boy loves nuggets! 


That's how I serve nuggets for lunch, with blanched vegetables, steamed egg, and rice.

Tips to make the chicken breast more tender for the little one to munch: 

如果做给小朋友吃的,加调味料前,先把鸡肉用玉米粉腌30分钟,然后洗掉,抹干。

1. Before adding anything, add some corn flour to the chicken breast, leave it for 30 minutes. 

2. Rinse the chicken, pat dry with kitchen towel, then cut into chunks.


Method: 步骤

1. Pat dry chicken chunks with kitchen towel. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Lightly dust with some flour, shake off the excess flour.
把鸡肉抹干。涂上少许蒜盐和胡椒粉。鸡肉沾上一层薄薄的面粉。

2. Dip chicken chunks into the egg until it's completely covered with egg.
把鸡肉沾些蛋液。








3. Dip chicken chunks into bread crumbs until it's completely covered with bread crumbs.
把鸡肉沾一层面包糠。

4. Optional: Coat 2 layers of flour + egg for thicker crust.
如果喜欢较厚的外层,可以沾上两层面粉和蛋液。

5. Preheat Ninja Foodi Air-Crisp mode for 3 minutes. 
 The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle, which I highly recommend to everyone who loves easy and hassle-free cooking with fewer pots and pans to wash. If you're interested, you can use our exclusive discount code to buy at the best market rate. I've attached the details and links below for easy reference.
