Ground Chicken Nuggets Recipe
Recipe Overview
- Time: 30 minutes
- Course: Appetizer, Snack
- Cuisine: American
- Yield: 4 servings
- Calories Per Serving: 250
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 1 cup riced or finely diced cauliflower
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and mustard powder. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the riced cauliflower and oat flour to the mixture. Stir until the cauliflower and flour are evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture.
Step 2: Form The Nuggets
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into nugget-sized pieces. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but I recommend about 1-2 inches in diameter for perfect bites.
- Place the formed nuggets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Coat The Nuggets
- Pour the Italian breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
- Roll each nugget in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. This will give them a crispy, delectable outside.
Step 4: Cook The Nuggets
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the nuggets to the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry the nuggets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Tips For Perfection
- Uniform Size: Make sure all your nuggets are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at a medium heat. Too hot, and the nuggets will burn on the outside and remain raw inside; too low, and they’ll absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- Healthier Option: For a healthier version, you can bake the nuggets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve these ground chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, BBQ sauce, or honey mustard.
- Pair them with a fresh salad or some roasted veggies for a balanced meal.
I hope you enjoy making and eating these Ground Chicken Nuggets as much as I do! They’re a hit with kids and adults alike, and they’re perfect for any occasion. Happy cooking!
