Kids, parents, and even grandparents love them! Of course, for the sake of convenience, we often opt for store-bought nuggets. However, the problem often lies in the ingredients, preservatives, as well as the taste and texture&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, picture this: pieces of chicken, coated in a crispy and golden breading, cooked to perfection. Not only is it delicious, but it&#8217;s also an excellent way to control the ingredients and ensure healthy meals for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how about we make some delicious chicken nuggets together? You can add your favorite spices, which is always a plus; you can even add some aromatic herbs if you like. You can prepare them in advance and freeze them, allowing you to finish cooking them at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve them with some homemade baby ketchup, a delight \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need for approximately 20 beautiful nuggets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>500g of chicken breast<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>150g of flour<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 tablespoons of sweet paprika (or spice of your choice)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 teaspoons of salt<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 teaspoon of pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1\/2 teaspoon of baking powder or baking soda<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>About 17cl of sparkling water<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neutral oil for cooking<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparation\">Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We start by finely mincing the chicken using a food processor. You should obtain a kind of paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transfer to a bowl, and add half of the sweet paprika (1 tablespoon), half of the salt (1 teaspoon), and half of the pepper (1\/2 teaspoon). Mix well; don&#8217;t hesitate to get your hands dirty \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we shape the chicken nuggets and place them on parchment paper, a plate&#8230; which we can then put in the freezer for 30 minutes once all the nuggets are formed. If the dough sticks to your hands when forming the nuggets, don&#8217;t hesitate to lightly oil your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets-1024x492.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken nuggets\" class=\"wp-image-8478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets-1024x492.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets-1170x562.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets-585x281.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/chicken-nuggets.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a bowl, mix the flour with the other half of the ingredients (sweet paprika, salt, and pepper) as well as the baking powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove the nuggets from the freezer and coat each one in this flour and spice mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby-1024x449.jpg\" alt=\"Flour on chicken nuggets for baby and the whole family\" class=\"wp-image-8479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby-1024x449.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby-1170x513.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby-585x256.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/flou-on-chicken-nuggets-for-baby.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the remaining flour\/spice mixture in the bowl, we make a liquid (but thick) batter by adding 17cl of sparkling water. Mix well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cooking\">Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, it&#8217;s time to cook the nuggets. Heat enough oil in a pan (don&#8217;t hesitate to use your deep fryer if you have one) for a few minutes so that we can immerse our nuggets. (I use less oil by using a small saucepan and cook them 5 at a time ;)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the oil is hot, it&#8217;s time to go: coat the nuggets in the liquid batter and immediately dip them (I use chopsticks to coat and dip them into the oil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking-1024x419.jpg\" alt=\"Batter on chicken nuggets before cooking\" class=\"wp-image-8476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking-1024x419.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking-768x314.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking-1170x479.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking-585x239.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/batter-on-nuggets-before-cooking.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow about 3 minutes of cooking per nugget (if you plan to freeze them, allow only 1 minute of cooking. You can finish cooking them later without overcooking them. I often prepare them the day before and place them in the refrigerator. I simply dip them in the oil for 2 minutes the next day!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They should be golden brown but, more importantly, well-cooked through, so don&#8217;t hesitate to cut them to check the chicken&#8217;s doneness, especially for the first chicken nuggets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once cooked, place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving them to the baby to prevent burns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our recipe for baby and family nuggets is complete, and you&#8217;re ready to enjoy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy your meal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#comments\"><h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/rate-this-recipe.png\" style=\"float:left; margin-right:10px; width:25px\">Rate this recipe<\/h2><\/a>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family-1024x702.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade crispy nuggets for babies and the whole family\" class=\"wp-image-8458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family-1024x702.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family-1170x802.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family-585x401.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/homemade-chicken-nuggets-for-babies-and-family.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"storage\">Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the chicken nuggets are prepared, let them cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Refrigerator<\/strong>: You can store the chicken nuggets in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezer<\/strong>: If you want to store them longer, you can freeze them.
