So, breading the chicken fillets. First, roll each piece in flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
Step 8

Step 10
Bread all chicken pieces this way, carefully remove extra breadcrumbs, to prevent them from crumbling and burning in the oil
We baste all pieces of chicken in this way, carefully removing extra breadcrumbs, so that they do not fall off and do not burn in oil. By the way, you can freeze such a preparation on a tray, then, as the pieces get frozen, put them in a bag and cook them as needed.
Step 11
To fry the chicken nuggets, we'll need a decent amount of refined vegetable oil (I have sunflower oil)
To fry the chicken nuggets, we need a decent amount of refined vegetable oil (I'm using sunflower oil). We pour it into a saucepan that is big enough (a narrow and high one is better, in order to use less oil), and heat it up well. When oil is hot enough, let's put patted meat pieces in it. Do not put a lot at once, for nuggets to be cooked evenly. We fry on medium heat until crusty, about 5 minutes. But I won't tell you the exact time here, if only because I don't know how big your meat pieces will be and what the temperature of the oil is.
Step 12
Place the finished golden chicken nuggets on paper towels or a towel to soak up the excess oil
Place the finished golden chicken nuggets on paper towels or paper towels to soak up the excess oil. Then, similarly deep-fry the rest of the breaded chicken pieces.
Step 13
Serve this simple but very tasty appetizer hot, although I personally like chicken nuggets cold as well
