Ingredients
- 420g Blended Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breast (or less than 2% fat chicken mince)
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Tsp Celery Salt
- 1 Egg
- 20g Cornflour
- 500g Peeled & Sliced Carisma Potatoes
- 135g Plain Flour (not all of this gets used - approximately 35g sticks to the chicken in total)
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 - 2 Whisked Eggs
Instructions
- Combine the chicken, one egg, cornflour, and the specified seasonings (salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and celery salt) to form the nugget mixture.
- Wet your hands to prevent the chicken mixture from sticking while shaping it into nuggets.
- Coat the nuggets in plain flour mixed with baking powder.
- Prepare the fries by seasoning the sliced potatoes with the same seasoning blend used for the chicken.
- Coat the seasoned potatoes in the remaining cornflour.
- Cook the nuggets and fries, applying a light spray of cooking oil to any dry spots on the nuggets halfway through the cooking process to ensure even crispiness.
Carisma potatoes are used which have 25% fewer carbs than regular potatoes; russet or sweet potatoes can be substituted. Blending chicken breast provides a better texture than using store-bought ground chicken.
