CHICKEN NUGGETS WITH SRIRACHA MAYO

Ingredients

For the Chicken Nuggets:

• 1 chicken breast (about 300 g)
• Salt, pepper, and paprika (to taste)
• 1 tsp baking powder or baking soda
• 100 g flour (for coating)
• 100 g flour + 100 g water (for batter)
• Oil for frying

For the Sriracha Mayo:

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Sriracha
• 0.5–1 tbsp water
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Blend the Chicken:
   Cut the chicken breast into smaller pieces and place it in a blender or food processor. Blend until finely minced.
2. Season the Chicken Mixture:
   Add salt, pepper, paprika, and baking powder directly into the blended chicken. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape and Freeze:
   Form the mixture into small nuggets. Place them on a tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
4. Prepare the Batter:
   In a bowl, mix 100 g flour with 100 g water until smooth and slightly thick. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
5. Prepare the Coating Flour:
   In another bowl, add 100–150 g of flour and season with the same spices.
6. Coat the Nuggets:
   Take the frozen nuggets, coat them first in seasoned flour, then dip them in the batter.
7. Fry:
   Heat oil on medium-high (about level 8). Fry the nuggets until golden brown and crispy, about 3–5 minutes per side.
8. Make the Sriracha Mayo:
   Mix mayo, Sriracha, a little water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
9. Serve:
   Enjoy your crispy nuggets with the spicy Sriracha mayo dip!
