DESCRIPTION
INGREDIENTS
- 500g chicken mince
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 80ml cold water
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 90g panko crumbs, lightly crushed
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a big mixing bowl, add chicken mince, cornstarch, cold water, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Place panko crumbs in a big shallow bowl.
- Using two spoons or wet hands, shape 1 tbsp of chicken mixture into a nugget. Place nugget in the bowl with panko crumbs, roll and press down gently to coat the entire nugget in panko crumbs evenly. Transfer to lined baking sheet.
- Repeat step 5 with remaining chicken mixture.
- Spray nuggets lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake nuggets for 15 minutes or until cooked through, flipping them halfway through baking.
- Remove nuggets and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favourite sauces!
NOTES
- You may substitute cornstarch with potato flakes. Or you may omit it entirely, however the texture of the nuggets will be more dense.
- You may substitute panko crumbs with crushed cornflakes or regular bread crumbs.
- Don't overbake the nuggets or they will be dry!
