I love making frozen chicken nuggets so I can fry them quickly in the morning and give them to my kids for lunch at school. Or they make a quick snack for unexpected guests just like my cornflakes chicken, chicken 65, chicken pakora, and sesame chicken nuggets.

Chicken: You can use ground chicken made with breast and thigh for the best taste. Or if you have chicken breast or boneless chicken pieces in hand. Just process it in the chopper until smooth and you can use it. Bread crumbs Lemon juice, or vinegar Garlic powder or garlic paste Onion powder or onion paste Chicken powder: This gives you that bright chicken flavor if you don’t have chicken powder, use chicken cube or bullion mixed with cornflour to make chicken powder. Eggs to make an egg wash Salt and black pepper
Pro tip: You can fry one of these chicken balls directly on the pan with little oil to cook and taste test it. Although, not needed but recommended. Cut out shapes like circles, crescents, and stars. Remove the shapes and transfer them to a lined baking sheet. Freeze the shapes to tighten for 1 hour. Once hard, roll into the egg wash and bread crumbs. Then follow the same steps of freezing and frying. If you try this Homemade chicken nuggets recipe, I’d LOVE to hear your feedback in the comments. Your 5-ratings motivate me to do my best.

Then roll them in any of your favorite sauces like orange sauce, sweet and sour, Manchurian, honey mustard, bbq sauce or buffalo sauce for next-level snacking. Similarly you can serve it along these sauce for a dip. Once, I served the fried and sliced nuggets over my white sauce pasta, and they were a perfect match of crispy chicken and creamy pasta. You can add ready-made seasonings too, like taco, ranch, Italian, and so on but I recommend trying the original recipe which is so delicious.
