Method

  1. Wash the chicken well and rub it with lemon, then mince the chicken until almost smooth while adding all the ingredients ...
  2. Mix the minced chicken with the spices well, spread the mixture in a flat bowl and put it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes until it firms up properly...
  3. Prepare the different nugget coatings... In a deep bowl, beat two eggs with 1/4 cup liquid milk, 1 teaspoon vinegar and salt, then set the mixture aside..
  4. ...Also in another bowl, prepare a coating of breadcrumbs mixed with 1/4 cup fine semolina, 1 medium spoon paprika and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. In a third bowl prepare the flour..
  6. Cut the chicken with a cutter into the desired shape or form it by hand into the shapes you want, coat the pieces with flour first, then with the egg mixture, then with the breadcrumb mixture combined with the fine semolina...
  7. Fry the pieces in preheated, plentiful oil then reduce to medium heat after putting the pieces in so they also cook through from the inside..
