Breaded chicken nuggets
1
Crispy nuggets from tender chicken fillet are prepared in 20 minutes. This dish will become a real decoration of your table thanks to the double-layered breading from flour and breadcrumbs, which ensures maximum crispness. The secret of successful nuggets is pre-marination in an egg with the addition of flour. This prevents the breading from crumbling during frying and gives the fillet tenderness. Try and see for yourself the quality of this dish. Did you know that chicken nuggets can be prepared in variations? Replace the breadcrumbs with crushed cornflakes for a richer taste. Add grated cheese or almonds to the breading for an interesting texture.
Variations

Secrets of tenderness and taste
- Cut the fillet across the fibers into small equal pieces
- Don't oversalt when marinating: about 3 grams of salt per 1 kg of fillet

Ingredient tips

Preparation steps
01
Preparing the fillet — Rinse the chicken fillet under running water, place on paper towels to dry. Time: 2 min. Reference: fillet is completely dry.
02
Cutting — Cut the fillet into small equal pieces across the fibers. Time: 3 min. Reference: all pieces are of the same size.
03
Marination — Place the pieces in a deep plate, sprinkle with paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, and a little vegetable oil. Mix and leave for 15 minutes. Time: 15 min. Reference: spices are evenly distributed.
04
Preparing the breading — Place the breadcrumbs in a separate dish. In another bowl, break the egg and whisk it lightly. Time: 2 min. Reference: the egg is homogeneous.
05
First breading layer — Sprinkle the marinated fillet piece with flour on all sides. This will create a sticky base. Time: 3 min. Reference: piece is sticky to the touch.
06
Dipping into egg — Dip each piece into the whipped egg so that it is completely covered. Time: 3 min. Reference: the egg evenly covers the fillet.
07
Frying the nuggets — Coat the fillet pieces in breadcrumbs, pressing the breading lightly with your hands. Heat a frying pan with enough oil over medium heat and fry the nuggets on both sides until golden brown. Place the finished nuggets on paper towels to remove excess fat. Time: 8–10 minutes. Reference: the breading should be golden and crispy, and the meat should be juicy and fully cooked (no pink juice).
08
Tip Prepare the sauce in advance: mix sour cream with garlic and dill greens, so the nuggets do not get cold. The nuggets disappear very quickly, so having everything ready for their completion is critically important.
