These nuggets can be served as an appetizer or as the main dish. If all the ingredients are prepared ahead of time, this meal can be done very quickly. These nuggets work best if you can find Panko in the Asian sections of the stores, but regular bread crumbs can be substituted.
1 lb. chicken meat cut into bite-sized chunks
Marinade:
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. sugar *
1 T. fresh ginger, minced
1 T. garlic, minced
3 T. flour
1 T. cornstarch
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c. Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
oil for deep frying
Mix soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic together until sugar dissolves. Marinate chicken in mixture for 30 minutes. Mix flour and cornstarch together and dredge the chicken pieces until well coated. Shake off excess flour, dip in beaten egg, and roll in the bread crumbs. Fry chicken pieces in oil until browned and meat is no longer pink about 3-5 minutes.
*Replace with a sugar substitute for a diabetic recipe.
