Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Cheese. Step by step recipe

1. Let's start processing the fillet. To do this, you can use a food processor with a small nozzle or carefully cut with a knife. It is very important not to turn the meat into minced meat. Remember: it must be chopped, so it should not be chopped in the combine for long: approximately 15 seconds.
2. We spread the chopped fillet in a working bowl and drive a couple of eggs into the mass.
3. After that, salt and pepper to your taste.
4. Now thoroughly mix all the ingredients to get a homogeneous consistency. To do this, it is better to use a wooden spatula, but you can also use a spoon.
5. After this, it is recommended to mix the mass with your hands so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed between the meat.
6. We take hard cheese and rub it through a coarse grater. Then we send it to the chopped fillet and stir until a consistency is obtained. The mass should become elastic: that is, not contain excess fluid and not be too thick.
7. Take another deep container. Break a couple of eggs into it, slightly add salt. After that, beat them with a fork so that the mass becomes a uniform color.
8. We take a tablespoon, slightly moisten it with water so that the stuffing does not stick. We do the same with hands.
9. We gather a little mincemeat and twist the small meatballs: we form chicken nuggets from it.
10. After balls roll in flour, shake off excess. After dipping in the egg mass and bread in breadcrumbs.
11. We put a frying pan with high sides on medium heat. Pour a large amount of oil to create a deep fat effect.
12. We wait until the oil is heated. At this time, we carefully insert the toothpicks on top of the ball.
13. You can check the oil temperature with a clove of garlic: if bubbles appear, then you can start to fry chicken nuggets with cheese filling. Please note: it is very important that the oil does not boil.
14. Throw the chicken nuggets with cheese into butter and fry until a uniform golden color. Then we get them on a waffle or paper towel so that the excess oil is glass.

So we learned how to cook delicious and tender chicken nuggets at home. As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this. If desired, they can be baked: then they turn out less caloric.
