Chicken Nuggets
Bite-size pieces of chicken breast breaded in flour, egg, and panko, then fried until the coating turns golden and crisp.
Where it comes from
Breading and frying small pieces let cooks use less meat per portion than a whole cutlet, and the uniform shape made it easy to freeze and reheat identically.
What cooks argue about
The debate is over deep-frying, which cooks coating and meat together in oil, against baking, which browns the panko in the oven but leaves the inside drier.
Nobody has published a chicken nuggets recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
