Recipe for deep fried chicken nuggets and sweet and sour sauce and mustard sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless chicken tenders
  • vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup water

Preparation:

Cut chicken into nugget-size pieces, about 1x1/2-inch. Put oil in deep fryer or put about 2 to 3 inches in a Dutch oven; heat to 360°. Mix flour with salt in a small bowl. Mix vinegar with baking soda. Add vinegar mixture and water to the flour mixture; beat until smooth. Dip chicken pieces into batter; allow excess batter to drip off into the bowl. Fry chicken nuggets, 4 to 6 at a time, until golden brown, or about 4 minutes for each batch.

Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce or Honey Mustard Sauce. Chicken nuggets recipe serves 4.

Not ""clingy"" and not hot enoughApril 04, 2008By karen_vr
"I have to admit, I am not a great cook. But, for this reason, I followed this recipe exactly and measured everything. The batter did not cling to the chicken at all - it slid right off. I added a little more flour, but that just turned it into dough. So, I improvised a little, working off a beer batter recipe I had for fish. I think the thing that finally did the trick was adding a beaten egg. Also, I think the temp of 360 is too low. They took several extra minutes to cook, and when they were finally done they were light tan (rather than golden brown). When I turned up the fryer to 400 (the manufacturer's recommendation), then they did seem to cook in about 4 minutes, and they just looked better in general (more crispy, golden brown). Sorry, I just wouldn't use this one again."
