Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Store-bought frozen chicken nuggets always seemed too artificial to me. They tasted nothing like chicken and contained way too many hazy ingredients for me to enjoy them well. So I decided to make my own.

You'll need:
Leftover Cooked Chicken
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 egg
Pinch Salt
Pinch Pepper
Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs

Mash up cooked chicken pieces in a food processor on low until completely mashed. Add in mayonnaise, a pinch of salt and pepper. Roll mashed chicken mixture onto a cutting board. Cut 2-3 inch squares along the entire mixture. Seperate the squares. In a seperate bowl, beat egg. With a brush, brush egg onto each chicken square and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. In a deep-frying pan, heat oil until it begins to pop. Deep-fry chicken nuggets until medium brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
