Ingredients

For the Nugget Mixture

  • 1 large egg
  • 4 whole serrano green chilies
  • 4 whole red chilies
  • 1 cup fresh shredded Parmesan shredded
  • 250 gm boneless chicken mince
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp vinegar.
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce.

For the Coating

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup All purpose Flour
  • Regular or Panko bread crumbs
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Remove the stems of the red and green chilies. Deseed the chilies as well if you don't want your nuggets to be spicy.
  • Pat your chicken mince dry and process it in a food processor along with the chilies.
  • Your processed chicken and chili would look somewhat like a paste.
  • Transfer the processed chicken into a bowl along with an egg and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add the seasonings including salt, black pepper powder, vinegar, thyme and soy sauce.
  • Line a tray with butter paper and spray it with oil. Transfer your chicken mixture onto the tray and press it in to form a uniform slab. Freeze the tray for 1 hour.
  • Take out the tray from freezer, and pull out the frozen chicken mixture block along with the butter paper.
  • Cut the chicken mix into cubes of the size of your liking
  • Coat the nuggets in all-purpose flour, then dip in eggs and coat in bread crumbs
  • Deep fry the nuggets at medium heat until golden brown.
  • Eat hot with a dip of your choice.
  • You can also chose to freeze the nuggets after crumb coating and fry it at a later date

Notes

You can freeze the nuggets for use at a later date for up to 3 to 4 months.
Do and extra layer of egg and breadcrumbs to make a more crunchier coat.
