Homemade Chicken Nuggets (Frozen)

To be frank, I am never a fan of Chicken Nuggets be it from Fast Food Chains or the frozen ones from any Supermarkets.  Recently, I came across an online post sharing this homemade recipe, and it really tempt me into making my own Chicken Nuggets.  Wow! it really taste  scrumptious, juicy and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside ~ YUMMYLICIOUS ~

Ingredients:

500 g minced chicken (I mince using chicken breast, not until mushy)

1 1/2 tsp chicken stock powder

1/2 tsp ground white pepper

1/2 tbsp garlic powder

4 tbsp ice water

3 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Coating: (place each separately on plate or bowl)

1/2 cup plain flour

1 egg + 1 tbsp water

Breadcrumbs

Methods:

1. In a large bowl, add minced chicken, chicken stock powder, white pepper, garlic powder, cornflour, breadcrumbs and ice water.  Mix well until it becomes a smooth, slightly sticky mixture.
2. Take small portions and shape them into nuggets (oval or round, shape depends on your own preference).
3. First coat each nugget in flour, then dip into egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
4. Arrange nuggets on a tray and freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.
5. Transfer them into an airtight container and store in the freezer.
6. When ready to eat, deep fry directly from frozen in medium hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
7. Enjoy them while still hot with chili sauce.
