Chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce

1. Stage

Cut the chicken fillet into fairly large pieces. Salt and pepper it.

2. Stage

Prepare the breading for the nuggets. We take the original nachos without any additives, about 100 grams. I put them in a bag and rolled them with a rolling pin to crumbs, not too fine.

3. Stage

Add 1 tsp. dried chili pepper, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. paprika to our breading, mix well.

4. Stage

We make three tubs for our nuggets. The first will have 100 grams of flour, the second will have 1 egg beaten with a tablespoon of water, and the third will have a breading mixture of nachos.

5. Stage

We take a piece of chicken filet, first we bathe it in flour, then in egg, and then we give it a good bath in breading. And we lay out on a baking tray covered with parchment. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and send the nuggets for 15 minutes. Then take them out, turn them over, and put them in the oven for another 15 minutes at the same temperature.

6. Stage

Now the sauce. Half an onion is finely diced. Grate a piece of fresh ginger or also cut it into small cubes. Fry in olive oil until the onion is transparent.

7. Stage

Take a saucepan, squeeze the juice of half an orange and half a lemon, add a tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of wine vinegar (you can replace it with apple) and 2 tbsp of sugar. Put it on the fire, wait for it to boil and boil for a couple of minutes.

8. Stage

At this time our onions are already cooked, add 2 tbsp. of tomato paste, mix well and fry a couple more minutes.

9. Stage

We pour our boiling liquid from the saucepan to the onions, stir and now bring everything together to a boil. Dissolve 1 tsp. of starch in 50 ml. of cold water, pour it into the sauce and constantly stirring wait for it to thicken, literally for a minute.

10. Stage

That's it, our sauce is ready.

11. Stage

By this point our nuggets are cooked, too; they come out spicy and crispy. A perfect snack with a cold beer!

Bon appetit!!!
