Easy Crispy Fried Chicken Nuggets Recipe that are made using minced chicken breast meat along with breadcrumbs and minimal spices breaded with a flour, egg wash and crispy panko breadcrumbs coating.

These Crispy Chicken Nuggets can be made ahead and frozen for upto one – two months in the freezer. I make them regularly for my kids tiffin box as they hardly take much to fry them in the morning and the box always comes empty that day! They are quite healthy too as chicken breast contains high protein, highly nutritious for growing children.

These snacks are very addictive and can be made ahead and served during ramadan iftar party too. They hardly take a few minutes to fry and tastes absolutely delicious.

Notes

I have used chicken breast for a healthier option but it can be made with chicken thigh mince too which will be more juicier and tastier.
I have used Panko breadcrumbs for the outer coating for a more crispy covering but it can be made with regular plain breadcrumbs too. I have used American Garden Panko breadcrumbs. 
If stored in an airtight container or a zip lock bag in the freezer, these lasts upto a month or two. Do not Thaw before frying. Fry them straight away in medium hot vegetable or sunflower oil till golden brown on both sides.
