McDonald's® Chicken McNuggets™ recipe




Source of Recipe


Internet


Recipe Introduction


SPECIAL TOOLS: Deep fryer Ingredients: vegetable oil (in fryer)--I suggest using Crisco® shortening, 6 cups, packed and pre-heated in your fryer.



List of Ingredients




1 egg
1-cup water
2/3-cup all-purpose flour
1/3-cup tempura mix (or 1/3 cup flour for a total of 1 cup if tempura mix is unavailable)
2 teaspoons salt
1-teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Accent®
1/4-teaspoon pepper
1/8-teaspoon garlic powder
4 chicken breast filets, each cut into 6-7 bite sized pieces.


Recipe



1. Beat the egg and then combine it with 1 cup water in a small, shallow bowl. Stir.
2. Combine the flour, tempura mix, salt, Accent®, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder in a one gallon size zip lock bag.
3. Pound each of the breast filets with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick. Trim each breast filet into bite-sized pieces.
4. Coat each piece with the flour mixture by shaking in the zip lock bag.
5. Remove and dredge each nugget in the egg mixture, coating well. Then return each nugget to the flour/seasoning mixture. Shake to coat. Put nuggets, bag and all, in the freezer for at least an hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining egg mixture.
6. After freezing, repeat the "coating" process.
7. Preheat oven and large cookie sheet to 375°
8. Deep fry the chicken McNuggets™ at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until light brown and crispy. (Cook only about 9 at a time.)
9. Drain on paper towels 3-5 minutes.
10. Place deep-fried nuggets on preheated cookie sheet in oven and bake another 5-7 minutes.
11. Serve with your favorite McDonald's dipping sauce. (See soups and sauces)

An EASIER way to get a CLOSE clone of McNuggets® for those of you that have a Wal-Mart® nearby...in the frozen meat section.... They have available Sugar Lake Farms™ chicken nuggets. (Pre-browned) These are pre-formed, pre-breaded McNuggets®. (They’re the closest things going) Just deep-fry these in the Crisco® shortening-mix described in the French fry recipe. 375-400° for about 8 minutes...do NOT thaw. They CAN be cooked in vegetable oil, with good, but not quite perfect results.
