Tips for preparing delicious Chicken Nuggets

• If you don’t have bread crumbs at home, you can use corn flakes and blend it till it becomes fine crumbs. • To make softer chicken nuggets for kids, blend the chicken along with the ingredients and spices until it is finely chopped. • While baking, make sure to flip the chicken nuggets halfway through the process for a uniform and well-baked meat. • Repeat the breading multiple times for a thicker coating. Place it on a plate for some time so that the coating sticks well on the chicken pieces before re-coating it. • For restaurant-style thick coating, fry the chicken nugget for 1 min and remove it and leave it on a plate. Repeat the coating again and deep fry it until it becomes golden brown. • Serve chicken nuggets with baked French fries, mayonnaise, cucumber, or tomato salad to experience a rich taste.
