Asian-Style Chicken Nuggets Recipe

Asian-Style Chicken Nuggets

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 1 cup peanut oil
FOR THE LEMON GLAZE
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. In a large ziploc bag, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, sesame seed oil, garlic, ginger and green onions. Combine the marinade and chicken; marinate around 2 hours, turning the bag occasionally if you remember to.
  2. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
  3. In a bowl, combine the chicken and the flour.
  4. Heat peanut oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees. Add the chicken and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. To make the glaze, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, lemon zest and juice, cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water over medium low heat. Bring to a boil, simmering until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve the chicken nuggets immediately, tossed or drizzled with the lemon glaze.
