Ingredients

CHICKEN NUGGETS
Wet Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 2 pounds
2 cups milk or buttermilk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon M.S.G. (optional)
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Dredging Mixture:

1 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon M.S.G. (optional)
teaspoon baking soda

For Frying:

2-4 cups peanut oil


Instructions


1 Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes (nugget-sized pieces). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, egg, salt, and M.S.G. (if using). Add in nugget pieces and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

2 When ready to cook, pour enough peanut oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom with 2 inches of oil. Heat peanut oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and monitor temperature.

3 Make the dredging mixture by combining flour, powdered sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, M.S.G. (if using), and baking soda in a shallow bowl or gallon-sized resealable plastic bag.

4 Remove the chicken breast pieces from the fridge. Remove chicken pieces from milk mixture and tap off excess liquids.

5 Working in small batches, toss the chicken breast pieces in the dredging mixture to coat. Place on a wire rack until ready to fry.

6 Fry chicken in peanut oil in small batches for 4 to 5 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove nuggets from oil and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Serve hot.
