How to Make Chicken Nuggets at Home the Easy Way! Plus Special Dipping Sauce

[@heikehasanzada5486]

I made these for my 3 year old this evening along with homemade oven baked fries-and I had a happy girl! They were yummy! Made extra for the freezer so when I need something in a pinch I have something easy and healthier than fast food to warm up for my babygirl. Thanks for the recipe, queeeen.

[@racheleisele]

I'm pregnant and the cravings for fast food, specifically crispy crunchy chicken, is UNREAL!!! Thank you for this recipe, I can't wait to make these at home when the next craving hits!!!

[@Brandon_501]

She also has an older recipe for chicken fingers that i have made and i think those would hit the spot for you! Hopefully pregnancy is not too rough, take care!!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

You will love them!!!!!! And congratulations!! What a blessing!!

[@PastleLif3]

Healthy delivery!

[@Iamhome365]

I wish I craved things like these on my last 2 pregnancies but I craved dirty mop water and laundry detergent! Honestly I wanted to suck the water out of a dirty mop, it was disgusting and obviously I never indulged 😅

[@andersenjudith7114]

These were delicious and so was the dipping sauce! I think I used more oil than I should have. I will use much less in the future! Thank you for sharing, they were amazing!!

[@madmaximilian5783]

​@@photolove250well I'm gonna try this recipe tonight because I'm trying to cut down on fast food loaded with sodium and filler ingredients.

[@BrainGiggles]

I made this tonight and they were amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing this! Cheers!🥂 I’m freezing it so that I can just pop it in the air fryer in the future when I’m packing my toddler’s lunch for school.

[@loganclark6239]

Trying these tonight! Been needing to do this for a long time. I’ll be back once I do them! :) ( update!) THEY WERE DELICIOUSSSSS thank you so much for the recipe Laura, will forever use your recipes! I’m 17 and learning and this was perfect ❤️

[@kati3874]

I agree with the crispy parts being the best part , That's my favorite parts always of fried food 😊❤

[@TuckerDale89]

My sauce consists of equal parts ketchup, mayo,course mustard and sweet Thai chili sauce

I made this but with chicken thighs and buttermilk cause that’s what I had and boy were they delicious 🤤

Could you do these in the air fryer? These look amazing

@LauraintheKitchen Laura they were absolutely delicious ♥️ making these again love your recipes, which I made so many of

[@clarityMarie]

Thank you so much Laura ❤I've been Watching more than 2 years. Ive made your recipes for winter holidays. I'm hoping that my picky autistic son will like these textured nuggets, and eat this fresher meat. 😇 It is such a simple breading method. I'm excited.

[@ashleybueno5331]

so are theses homeade chick fil a nuggets i gotta try them for my family soon with some homemade waffle fries

[@mwinchesterjr6862]

easy and great recipe. thank you. Probably omitted to make prep simpler. But since we're using chicken breast, do you think brining the chicken for 20-30 minutes would elevate the flavor? Maybe with say a dill pickle brine?

[@lchahin12]

That sauce is SO good 🔥

[@lauriegelinas257]

I used to love KFC chicken nuggets(: but these are top tier level and will def make!

[@TinaHobbs-ow2fd]

Are you talking about the popcorn chicken? Lol

I am going to try these with almond flour so they are low carb. I'll let you know how they turn out!

I’m going to try for my nugget loving family. Why wouldn’t you when it’s this easy? 🥰 But can we talk about that perfection shade of pink polish you are wearing. Please share. 🙏🏼😘

[@andreacannon9228]

At what point would you freeze these? After flouring?

[@MissMusic5]

My boys will thank you for this, Laura❤❤❤

[@LauraintheKitchen]

They will love it!!

[@Jules-f7s]

@laura in the kitchen ,would it be smoked paprika,or plain paprika ?

[@JoanneNg-d5h]

Hi Laura, your recipes look absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, my little grandchild has egg allergy. What can I use to substitute the egg and mayo?

[@nataliewolfers1381]

How long can i keep this in freezer for?

[@lindalamacchia332]

Love this!!!!!

[@TinaHobbs-ow2fd]

I love chicken nuggets l love both McDonald's and Burger King chicken nuggets!!!!!!! Lol

[@beabea2661]

I will make this recipe, thank you for sharing Miss Laura, have a blessed day 🙏❤️

[@devwadhwa9893]

I cannot have dairy, so can I substitute the milk for almond milk for the breading.

[@devwadhwa9893]

Can I even use an air fryer for this?

[@socojaleesa]

Mmm 🤤 Will have to make ❤

[@hotdjdwray]

Left out 2 very important parts of the recipe! Appr. temp of oil and appr. length of time to cook would Greatly help.

[@antoniamadimure]

Pse can I have recipe for the nugget sauce. I did not get it.

[@LadywatchingByrd]

I cant WAIT to make these. You think using thighs is ok?

[@angelap32]

YUMMMMM!!!!❤❤❤

[@SuperHaijin]

Can you make a version of these baked?

[@cathycarlisi1673]

Yum! Can these be done in the air fryer?

[@meld.a.181]

Yes i would like to know that also. Please answer 😊

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I wouldn’t because the flour needs fat to brown and crisp. It’s not the same process as a breadcrumb coating

[@brownhair8]

I’m thirty and want these!

[@ladylovelorion]

can you overnight this?

[@JacklynnLala-zz9ft]

Awesome thanks

[@vanilaicecream2011]

Thanks for writing the recipe in the description box I really appreciate it Very very old fan since you started your channel I tried so many of your recipes and I don’t remember you ever failed me ❤❤ thank you for your hard work and creativity and simplicity

[@riaallick5092]

I love the way you used real chicken and didn't blend and try to remake it❤❤❤. This is how chicken nuggets is supposed to be. The sauce I make a different version that I use in my wraps. Mayo, Ketchup and Parsley Flakes butttttttt that BBQ sauce is a must try. Love you Laura all the way from 🇹🇹

[@AKLove-sl1yy]

What do you mean by blend? I've never heard of that term but then again I don't usually look for a chicken nuggets recipe as I have my own that my family loves. Google just shoved this video in my news feed I because I ran out of buttermilk the other day which I use in my nugget recipe for a more tender chicken, and lighter crunch.

[@riaallick5092]

@@AKLove-sl1yy the blend the chicken, with flour and spices and then mold it small rectangle or square. Some put egg and breadcrumbs also.

[@AKLove-sl1yy]

@@riaallick5092 thanks for the explanation I was thinking that maybe you were meaning some people used ground chicken and blend it in the flour and seasonings which I would think would not be really easy having to shape each nugget. I think cutting a real piece of chicken into chunks is probably a little faster especially if you use a good pair of kitchen scissors that can come apart to get washed easily.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I’m really not a fan of that method, I’d rather just make chicken meatballs if I had to do that lio

[@aleksandrasidel5412]

Can they be frozen and then reheated in microwave?

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I’ve never done it but I do refrigerate them then pop them in the toaster oven (or air fryer would work)for about 7-8 min to reheat them

[@FRACTUREDVISIONmusic]

Jersey girls are the best! Just bought an air fryer, and would have done this with bread crumbs idk why it seemed like how they're made. TBH, last nuggets I ate were Burger Kings's, like.... uhhhhh...... can't remember. At least ten years, even 20 ago - I don't do Fast Food much, never did, but not at all forever now. Bought some Tyson frozen today, came looking for sauce ideas - ended up making one up I liked. But, I tend to make stuff from scratch as much as possible. Will try these when the Tyson runs out - got everything I need already - chicken in freezer etc.. Fwiw, my dip sauce for today was: *Mayo, ground Pepper, Smoked Paprika, Celery Salt, Cardamom, Turmeric, Mustard Powder* Use you instincts!

[@GamingFunwithNoreen]

Wow❤

[@GeorgeAlexa]

I will make the dipping sauce as it must be good, as many comments. However, I will look for an air fryer recipe instead of dipping nuggets in oil. What do you think?

[@MegaMissions]

Laura, can these be oven-baked? I will try these soon since I love chicken nuggets!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I wouldn’t, they don’t have a breadcrumb coating so baking them could result in a soggy mess

[@stephan1emar1e]

Thanks so much for this recipe! I noticed in both the video and on the recipe online you listed the ingredient as “milk”. Is it buttermilk, whole milk, 2%, skim? Does it not matter?

[@frankzito8653]

Milk means whole milk unless otherwise stated. Frankly, buttermilk would be great here as well. It helps tenderize the chicken.

[@klamentyne5991]

milk is whole milk, unless otherwise specified

Regular whole milk unless specified

[@dcstealth11111]

how about this in airfryer what temperature would I do it

I wouldn’t do this in an air fryer. Theirs no breadcrumb coating so could result in a chewy end result with not much crispies

My sister and brother-in-law love making chicken (or veggie) nuggets with the kids. The breading stage is a mess 'cause they're still really young, but they love cooking with us and seeing what goes into their food! That's how my sister and I were raised (my dad was a chef) so we try to pass it on! But yeah, sometimes we get take out. No shame in that! 😊❤ Edit: I will definitely try introduce them to that sauce though! Looks divine!!

When you cut the chicken it seems so firm and easy to cut 'straight'. When i buy chicken breasts they are always much more floppy. Why is that?

Thoughts on substituting the milk for heavy cream?

[@LauraintheKitchen]

Unnecessary, too thick and rich

[@TimothyTate-tc5yk]

The way that I do my chicken nuggets is I grind my chicken breast using the fine grinding plate. The I take the ground chicken breast and dust it with cornstarch and then I seasoned it with poultry seasoning then I divided and roll it into balls and then flatten the balls out and then dip it in the egg batter and the and dredge them in the plinko bread crumbs and then deep fry them until they float until the golden brown. They look like the chicken nuggets that you get from McDonald's or buy out of the grocery store they're much more better because they're homemade and you don't have to worry about any of the preservatives.
