Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 3/4 pound each
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
6 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried
4 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried
1 teaspoon cumin
1 cup corn or vegetable oil for frying
Tomato and horseradish sauce (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Split the chicken breasts in half down the center. Trim them neatly to remove peripheral membranes and bits of fat. Cut each breast half into six pieces of equal size.
  • Put the egg, water, salt and pepper in a bowl and beat well to blend.
  • Put the bread crumbs on a large platter. Add the sage, thyme, cumin and pepper, and blend well.
  • Add the pieces of chicken to the egg mixture and toss to coat well. Drain off the excess. Transfer the chicken pieces to the bread-crumb mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Put the coated pieces in another dish, separating them so that they do not touch.
  • Heat the oil for deep frying in a cast-iron skillet. There should be about 1 inch of oil. When hot (at 360 degrees) but not smoking, add about one-third of the chicken pieces. Do not overcrowd. Cook, stirring with a slotted or perforated spoon so that the pieces brown evenly. It will take about 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Transfer the nuggets to paper towels and drain.
  • Continue adding batches of chicken pieces and cook until all the chicken is done. Serve with tomato-horseradish sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken nuggets didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.
