Ingredients for Peri Peri Nuggets
- 250g chicken breast (boneless, cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg (or cornflour slurry for veg version)
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tbsp Crait Peri Peri seasoning
- 1 tsp Peri-peri spice mix (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Oil for deep frying
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Step-by-Step Method
1. Marinate the Nuggets
Add the chicken pieces to a clean mixing bowl. Next, add salt, black pepper, garlic paste and lemon juice.
Mix everything thoroughly so that each chicken piece is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for 20–30 minutes.
2. Add Crait Peri Peri
Add 2 tablespoons of Crait Peri Peri seasoning to the marinated chicken and mix thoroughly.
This important step gives the Peri Peri Nuggets Recipe its bold, spicy and restaurant-style flavor. Moreover, coating the chicken evenly ensures delicious seasoning in every bite.
3. Coat the Nuggets
Place the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Dip each marinated chicken piece into the beaten egg and then coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.
Alternatively, use a cornflour slurry instead of egg for an egg-free coating.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto each piece to create a crispy outer layer.
4. Fry Until Crispy
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully add the coated nuggets in small batches.
Fry until they become golden brown, crispy and fully cooked in the center. Then, remove the nuggets and place them on absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
5. Add the Final Peri Peri Touch
While the nuggets are still hot, sprinkle a little extra Crait Peri Peri seasoning over them.
Finally, toss gently so the seasoning coats the nuggets evenly. Serve the Peri Peri Nuggets Recipe hot with mayonnaise, ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
