homemade
nuggets I want you to get your one large
gas hob on
please put it on just under full
whack get your largest pan on the medium
heat on the big Hub okay
who's never touched raw meat before put
your hands up hands up high if you've
never touched raw meat right one of you
okay okay I want you to unwrap your
chicken right I want you to put your
chicken on the plastic board only you
never ever want to mix raw
chicken with anything like salads or
cooked meats okay
never you'll get you because if it's got
s vanilla you know you could transfer
that to the cooked meat then you eat it
and then you've got it and you got a
problem okay so always keep cooked and
uncooked separate okay so dead simple
we're going to use this knife everyone
and you're doing this in pairs okay who
knows what a centimeter looks
like okay the thickness of your little
finger I want you to slice the chicken a
centimeter thick then just cut it into
sort of nice nugget sized pieces when it
gets thicker then you slice it um a
centimeter thick now you want them to be
sort of big enough to look nuggety yeah
so make sure it's a nugget size
the next stage I want you to put with a
hand that hasn't touched the chicken a
nice generous pinch of salt and pepper
on the
chicken and mix that up with your hand
but do not put it back in the salt and
pepper
afterwards cuz then you're putting the
raw chicken on your salt you don't want
that you put pepper
salt and pepper on the chicken then mix
it
up now you can see you got bags next to
you get the bag of flour
guys and put the chicken into the flour
and then zip it up and just gently shake
it
about now leave the chicken now go to
the egg take the egg out of the bag tap
it on the side and then crack it back
into its bag and then throw away the
eggshell then put your hand in the bag
of egg and whisk it up with your fingers
I need to go back into the bag shake off
the flour off the chicken and put it in
with the eggs so go into the flour
chicken shake off the excess flour and
put it in with the eggs okay once you
got the flour chicken in the bag mix it
up with the eggs guys
yeah mix the eggy chicken up yeah

well okay the next stage is put the eggy
Chicken in with the breadcrumbs so just
yeah just drop it in to the bag so
that's the same amount of chicken one
egg a little bit of flour and some
breadcrumbs that's £190 that's enough
chicken for a family of four right so
it's the same quantity as the as the as
the pre-bought stuff now I want you to
shake around the nuggets in the
breadcrumbs guys you can get rid of your
flour and egg bags in the
bin look at that put in the I can do
that it's really important that we make
sure that the chick the Chicken is
really coated in the breadcrumbs okay
now what I want you to
do is empty the chicken and the
breadcrumbs onto your board and get the
chicken and make sure it sticks to all
the breadcrumbs yeah so get your little
nuggets of chicken and just lay it on
the
breadcrumbs you don't want to see any
egg

you to turn the heat up on your pan to
sort of nearly high right I want you to
put about one or two tablespoons of
olive oil into the
pan and then I want you to pick up your
nuggets one by one and put them into
your pan and sort of drag them through
the olive
oil so I want you to put a little bit of
olive oil 2 tablespoons in the pan
