Delicious and Crispy Homemade Nuggets

Pulse the onion and two cloves of garlic in a small food processor until a coarse mixture forms.

Add the hot paprika and a little pepper to the garlic and onion mixture.

Add the juice of one lime and two tablespoons of oat bran to the mixture.

Add salt (approximately one tablespoon for 1kg of chicken) and mix well with your hands, as the food processor might be too small.

Shape the seasoned chicken mixture into your desired nugget shapes, using your hands.

Prepare the breading mixture: lightly beat one egg and add a little water and a pinch of hot paprika (optional).

Dip each nugget into the liquid egg mixture and then coat them thoroughly in the flaked cornmeal (Flocão) to create the crispy crust.

Fry some nuggets in hot oil or bake the rest in the Air Fryer until golden brown and very crispy.
