McD Chicken nuggets copycat

                McD Chicken nuggets copycat

I found this McDonalds copycat recipe on the internet and let me tell ya, boy that's 

good. You need to try this.


This is what you need:

- Chicken breasts (as many as you want/need)

- Salt and Pepper

- Flour

- Cornstarch

- Garlic Powder

- Onion Powder

- Eggs


This is how you do it:

Cut the Chicken breasts into cubes and pulse them in a Blender. Don't pulse them to fine though. Take them out and salt and pepper them. Don't be greedy with the salt. You want flavor.  Form "nuggets" and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or a silicone baking sheet). Place them in the freezer for 2 hrs..

In 2 separate bowls have some whisked eggs with a bit water ready, in the other mix the Flour, cornstarch, Onion and Garlic powder (go after your guts. It depends on how much you have. I tasted it and adjusted from there. Again, don't be greedy here) Coat the Nuggets first in the wet, then the dry, another time wet and again dry ingredients.

Technically, your Nuggets are done. Now its up to you how you want to cook them. You can pan fry them in oil, air fry them (with some oil sprayed on them) or bake them in the oven (again, spray some oil over them). When you Air fry them, don't use the metal rack. They glue to them and rip off the breading. Or use some baking sheet underneath. It took around 20-30 min. on 400 degrees in the Air Fryer but you might want to have play with this time also. They are way faster fried in oil (and probably more flavorful) but with trying to reduce fat, it's definately and option.


Sorry for not having a picture. I will update when I have one.
