Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 6 slices Bacon strips
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Chop the bacon slices into small pieces and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and let cool.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cooked bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 3
Using your hands, shape the chicken mixture into bite-sized nuggets. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one containing the flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Coat each nugget in flour, then dip it into the eggs, and finally roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Place the breaded nuggets back on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (180°C). Fry the nuggets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and fully cooked inside.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy your homemade chicken bacon nuggets!
