Step By Step Guide
Prepare The Chicken Mixture
Mix minced chicken, cheese, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, cornstarch, and flour in a bowl and add the beaten egg. Mix the mixture well and shape it into small nugget sized pieces and place it on a tray. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help it hold its shape.
Coat The Nuggets
Roll each nugget in flour and dip it into beaten egg and then coat it with breadcrumbs.
Fry The Nuggets
Fry the nuggets for 3-4 minutes until each side is golden and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve Hot
Serve hot with the dipping of your choice, for instance garlic mayo, ketchup, or chili sauce will add an extra flavor punch.
