About the Recipe
Nuggets, Patties, Shapes and even Fries! This recipe is one in my versatile Go-To menu items list We are going to have fun in the Variation Section of this recipe as well, so be sure to check it out! Chicken Nuggets seem to be a lot of people's favorite comfort food. I think my favorite fast food chicken nuggets were Burger King's, but local restaurants in recent years are just rarely worth the hassle. My food is either incorrect or missing and considering I live in the middle of a forest, over half an hour to he nearest town, cold. A pain in the ass and the wallet.
So, let's just make it ourselves, healthier, tastier, and best of all, completely your own!
Ingredients
4-5 Boneless Chicken Tenderloins
1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
2 Large Eggs
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
Seasoning: (This can be changed out for your favorite blend!)
1 Tbsp seasoning mix (I used Chili Lime seasoning from Aldi in the video)
Preparation
Step 1
Take the tendon out of your chicken. No one like to bite into gristle. Just remove the white piece from your Chicken tenderloin with a knife. (See video)
Step 2
If you have a food processor, throw in all of the ingredients. This is a dump recipe, of sorts. It's really that simple. If you don't have a food processor, that's perfectly fine. you can dice up your chicken finely, shred it, or even use canned chicken. mix well. The batter should be similar to chunky pancake batter. If it's too dry, add more mayo. If it's too wet, add more panko to soak it up
Step 3
Spray a frying pan and heat over medium-high and add your mix to the pan in spoonfulls. Make traditional medallions, line to make fries, get creative with shapes, or just use a scoop!
Step 4
Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remember, if you used a scoop, you should flatten the nugget when you flip over to ensure it cooks all the way through. Be careful with any edged of creative designs as they will cook faster and risk sticking.
Step 5
Plate on a paper towel lined surface until ready to transfer to plates, and serve up with your favorite sauces!
