Step 1: Grind & form the chicken
Chicken
- chicken thighs, boneless, skinless454 g
- salt5 g
- msg3 g
Slice the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into thin slivers. Then cut across the slivers into small cubes. Rock chop the chicken continuously for about 3 minutes until it starts to resemble rough ground meat.
- Sprinkle the salt and MSG over the chicken and continue chopping for another minute. Then, massage and mix the ground chicken with your hands for about a minute. This process helps bind the chicken.
Lay wax paper over a baking sheet and form the ground chicken into nugget shapes. I got about 18. Set them aside in the fridge while we prepare the batter and start heating the oil.
