How to make Crispy Chicken Nuggets

Tips from the cook

Pulse the chicken in short bursts, so it is finely minced and does not turn to paste.
Use cold water for the batter, so the coating turns crisp.
Fry in batches, and check that the centre reaches 74 °C before serving.

Meal prep and storage

Do not skip the freezing, as it firms the nuggets so they keep their shape and take the batter.

Drain on a wire rack. Reheat in the oven, so they crisp up again.
