How to cook

Prepare minced chicken

Combine minced mix ingredients together thoroughly for 3 mins until a thick sticky paste forms.
Prepare a tray lined with baking paper that can fit into your freezer.
With moist hands, mould meat mix into nugget shapes about 0.5cm thick.
Lay them on the tray, leaving a finger width between each nugget (~15g each).
Place in the freezer for about an hour or so, until firm and set.

Start cooking

When ready to fry, heat up a pot of oil on med-high heat.
Check if the oil is hot enough by sticking a wooden chopstick in the oil. Bubbles should form vigorously around it.
Whisk all the batter ingredients in a bowl, dry ingredients first followed by wet ingredients.
Add 5 – 6 ice cubes to keep the batter cool.
Coat nuggets in plain flour and shake off the excess.
Put into the batter mix coating it well and fry for about 3 mins or until golden brown.
Whilst still hot, toss the nuggets with a sprinkling of cayenne/chilli powder or chilli flakes & salt to your desired preference.
