Variations
- With hard cheese inside for a more luxurious taste and nutrition
- In the oven at 190°C for about 20 minutes instead of frying in a pan
- With an alternative breading of crushed almonds and parmesan
Tenderness secrets
- Chill the shaped nuggets in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before handling
- Use fresh chicken fillet, cut into even pieces of the same size
- A double breading in eggs and breadcrumbs creates the crispiest crust
Ingredient tips
- Breadcrumbs can be replaced with finely crushed toasted baguette pieces
- Add 1 tsp of soy sauce or Provencal herbs for a deeper flavor
- Choose spices per personal preference: paprika, garlic, oregano complement chicken well
Culinary nuances
- Do not overheat the oil - a golden crust forms at 170-180°C
- Place finished nuggets on a paper towel to remove excess oil
- Serve hot immediately for the best texture; cooled ones lose their crispy crust

Preparation steps
01
Meat preparation — Cut the chicken fillet into even pieces about 5-6 cm. Time: 5 min. Guideline: All meat is cut into even pieces.
02
Mixing flour with spices — Combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and ground garlic in a separate dish. Time: 2 min. Guideline: The dry mixture is homogeneous.
03
Egg preparation — Break the eggs into a bowl and beat well with a fork until smooth. Time: 2 min. Guideline: The egg mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
04
Breading — flour — Dredge each chicken piece on both sides in the flour mixture with spices. Time: 5 min. Guideline: All meat is coated with flour.
05
Breading — egg — Dip the floured pieces in the whipped egg, ensuring full coverage. Time: 3 min. Guideline: The entire nugget is wet from the egg.
06
Breading — crumbs — Dredge in breadcrumbs, gently pressing so the crumbs stick well. Time: 3 min. Guideline: The entire nugget is evenly coated with crumbs.
07
Frying nuggets — Heat a frying pan with enough vegetable oil (about 1–1.5 cm deep) over medium heat. Place the nuggets in small batches so that they do not touch each other. Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. After frying, place on paper towels to remove excess fat. ⏱ Time: 8–10 minutes. Guideline: the nuggets should have an even golden crust and be completely cooked and juicy inside.

Tip Serve nuggets hot immediately after cooking. They store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be reheated in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes. Experiment with different sauces — mustard, ketchup, or homemade honey mustard sauce for variety.
