If you guessed, "Chicken Nuggets" for the last post....you were WRONG...this is the ingredient list for Faux Chicken Nuggets. Here is a recipe for REAL chicken nuggets:Chicken Nuggets
•2 chicken breasts
•5 1⁄3 oz ready-made breadcrumbs OR 6 slices of dried bread chopped in blender.
•2 eggs
•3 1⁄3 fl oz vegetable oil
•1 tsp basil, parsley or both
•salt
•freshly ground black pepper
•1 ¾ oz plain flour
Cut the chicken into small chunks so they will fit into the blender. Pulse the chicken until roughly chopped. Now add the herbs and switch on the blender again, making sure the herbs are blended well with the chicken. Once that is done, pour the mixture in a bowl.

Beat the eggs and put in a bowl.
Line up the chicken mix, the flour, the eggs and the breadcrumbs in the four bowls.
Rub your hands with some flour to avoid them becoming too sticky. Then take some chicken mixture and roll it in the palm of your hands to create a smooth ball shape about the size of a ping pong ball.
Roll the nugget in the flour. When totally covered, roll it in the egg. Next, roll the nugget in the breadcrumbs and place it on a plate. Gently press down on it with the flat side of a knife to form the perfect nugget shape.

Take your frying pan and put the vegetable oil into it. Heat the pan to medium so that the oil is hot but not smoking. Place the nuggets into the pan and cook gently on a low heat for about 5 minutes turning them every few minutes so they don't burn.
Once cooked place the nuggets on kitchen paper to drain any excess oil. Then serve with salad, chips or a dip.
