Ingredients:

vegetable oil (in fryer)--I suggest using Crisco® shortening, 6 cups, packed and pre-heated in your fryer.

1 egg
1 cup water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup McCormick® Golden Dipt™ tempura mix
2 Tablespoons yellow corn meal
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Accent®
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

4 chicken breast filets, each cut into 6-7 bite sized pieces.


Cooking your Chicken McNuggets®
1. Beat the egg and then combine it with 1 cup water in a small, shallow bowl. Stir.

2. Combine the flour, tempura mix, salt, Accent®, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder in a one gallon size zip lock bag.

3. Pound each of the breast filets with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick. Trim each breast filet into bite sized pieces.

4. Coat each piece with the flour mixture by shaking in the zip lock bag.

5. Remove and dredge each nugget in the egg mixture, coating well. Then return each nugget to the flour/seasoning mixture. Shake to coat. Put nuggets, bag and all, in the freezer for at least an hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining egg mixture.

6. After freezing, repeat the "coating" process.

7. Preheat oven and large cookie sheet to 375°

8. Deep fry the chicken McNuggets™ at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until light brown and crispy. (cook only about 9 at a time.)
