Bake Chicken Nugget

A friend had posted her nuggets in facebook and that reminded me to give it a try again and indeed, it tasted yummylicious except that I make a small mistake, I should have let the ginger and onion blend till fine first coz the girl detected them and kinda reject it.. :(



Ingredients:

  • 400g chicken breast (approximately coz I'm not quite sure the weight too.. hehehe)
  • half a small apple (for the moisture and yummy texture)
  • one small onion (yellow)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cumin powder
  • 4 small slices of ginger (really small pieces)
  • a pinch of pepper
  • 2 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1.5 cups of bread crumbs (for coating) + a pinch of salt + a pinch of freshly grounded pepper + a pinch of curry powder
  • 2 eggs, lightly beat (for coating)
  • olive oil for baking
Methods:
  1. Mixed all the ingredients except those for coating in the blender and mix it till even. It does not need to be super fine caused you will want to have some texture for the nugget. But like in my case, do blend the onion and ginger in advance so that it is fine caused some kids can be quite sensitive and detect those flavour on its own.
  2. Spray some olive oil on the tray lined with baking sheets. Preheat oven at 180C.
  3. Wet you palm, scooped bout 2 teaspoon amount of the mixture on your palm and for the shapes you like. 
  4. Dip the shape into the egg and then to the breadcrumbs. Lined them on the sheets.
  5. Once all done, spray the top of the nuggets with oil and bake at 150C for 20-25mins. I sprayed a little more oil on the nuggets after 10mins baking to avoid it from getting too dry.
  6. Served with ketchup or any sauce of your choice.. :D
