Ingredients
Crispy Chicken Nuggets and Fries
- Ingredients
- 800 grams potatoes
- 600 grams Chicken breasts
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 2 Tbsps Pastry flour
- 2 eggs
- 80 grams breadcrumbs (for coating)
- Frying oil (about 1.5 kg)
Heat the oil to 170°C (approximately 340°F) in a fryer or deep saucepan. Peel the potatoes, cut into sticks and dry well.
Working in batches, fry the potatoes until they are soft but have taken no color, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain.
Blanch the corn and beans in a pot of boiling salted water. Rinse and drain. Heat the butter in pan, add the corn and beans and season with salt.
Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into nugget-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with flour. Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk together. Place the breadcrumbs in a deep plate. Dredge the chicken pieces one at a time in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs, patting to adhere. Working in batches, cook in the hot cooking oil until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Working in batches, cook the potatoes until crispy and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain well and sprinkle with salt.
Serve the nuggets with the vegetables and fries.
