Fried Chicken Nuggets

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Cut chicken breast into chunks and marinate with salt, pepper, light soy sauce, scallions, and ginger for at least 30 minutes.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Crush the dried steamed buns into pieces. The drier the better; mine weren't quite dry enough. I prepared one dried steamed bun for two frozen chicken breasts, but that wasn't enough.

   Step 3

   After marinating, add an egg, a suitable amount of flour, and thicken with cornstarch.

   Step 4

   Next, roll the chicken breast in the dried breadcrumbs a few times and arrange it. The pieces are too large.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Pour oil into a wok and heat it up. Add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the wok.

   Step 6

   Coating with dried breadcrumbs makes it more flavorful and tender. Using flour directly doesn't make it as tender as coating it with dried breadcrumbs. You can fry it a second time depending on your preference.
