McDonald’s Real Chicken McNuggets Recipe

282 Calories

It kind of scares me that the pink chicken paste they use for the McNuggets looks a lot like their strawberry milkshakes.  We know they don’t use milk, so I guess their secret ingredient is poultry.  Anyway this remake is fantastic and chemical free with just a touch of love.  Enjoy.

Instructions:

1. Mix all breading ingredients into a large shallow pan & mix all batter ingredients into a medium sized shallow pan.
   
2. Cut your chicken into 1 inch cubes and then toss that into a food processor.
   
3. Season the blended chicken with salt & pepper, maybe some bread... I also heard mashed potatoes, which is kind of weird... but we are making chicken "mcnuggets" here so we kind of gotta be a little open minded
   
4. Now simply shape your chicken paste into balls and flatten them out. Make them as big or as small as you'd like.
   
5. Initially toss them into your breading mixture and then your egg batter. Repeat this at least twice to get a nice coating.
   
6. Deep fry in vegetable oil for 3 minutes a side at 365°F.
