Ingredients
- 500 gm Chicken Breast Boneless, washed and cubed
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper Powder for authentic commercial taste
- Salt to taste
- 4 tbsp All-purpose Flour Maida, for the slurry
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch for extra crispness
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs Panko, specifically for the "crunchy" texture
- Vegetable Oil for deep frying.
Instructions
- Place the cleaned chicken cubes into a food processor and add garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and salt.
- Pulse and blend until the mixture turns into a smooth, thick paste, taking care not to over-process.
- Lightly grease your palms with oil and shape small portions of the chicken paste into flat triangles or rectangles.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a bowl, adding water to make a thin, lump-free batter.
- Spread the panko breadcrumbs evenly across a wide, flat plate.
- Dip each shaped nugget into the liquid batter, drain the excess, and roll in panko breadcrumbs while pressing firmly to adhere.
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed wok or pan until medium-hot, then carefully slide in the prepared nuggets.
- Deep fry the nuggets for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are vibrant golden brown and the crust feels hard.
- Remove the nuggets using a slotted spoon, drain on an absorbent paper towel, and serve immediately with a spicy dip.
Recipe Notes
For Extra Flavor
- Add 1/2 tsp of chicken bouillon powder to the mince for that professional "ITC" umami taste.
- You can freeze these breaded (unfried) nuggets in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Fry them directly from the freezer when needed.
