Equipment

  • measuring spoon
  • Fryer
  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 -4 boneless chicken breasts
  • cornflour
  • white flour
  • 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons grated ginger root
  • 4 crushed garlic cloves
  • salt
  • pepper
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and dry them with paper towels. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch and white flour together. Add in the chicken cubes and mix well to coat them evenly.
  • Heat up vegetable oil in the fryer or skillet until it reaches 350°C. Add the chicken cubes into the fryer or skillet and deep fry them for about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking.
  • When the chicken nuggets are golden brown, remove them from the heat and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour this mixture over the fried chicken nuggets and mix well to coat them evenly.
    Serve the Japanese chicken nuggets warm with a side of steamed rice or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure that the oil is hot enough before adding in the chicken cubes; this will ensure proper cooking and a nice, crispy coating.
  • Be careful not to overfill the fryer or skillet with chicken cubes as this will lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy nuggets.
  • If you prefer a less spicy version, omit the garlic cloves from the marinade and reduce the amount of ginger root used.
