hello this is Chef John from
foodwishes.com
with bang bang chicken
nuggets that's right I'm going to show
you my take on bang bang chicken which
actually might be closer to boom boom
chicken right this is kind of both so
what I'm trying to say is I'd really
love it if you called this bang bang
boom boom chicken oh yeah people are
going to enjoy saying that but not as
much as they're going to enjoy eating
this and to get started we'll go ahead
and cut up some chicken for nuggets and
for this I use both boneless skinless
chicken breast and boneless skinless
chicken thighs but this will work with
all one or the other and all we need to
do to prep this is cut it into like one
one and 1/2 inch strips and then we'll
simply slice across that every inch or
so to create some hopefully fairly
uniform pieces and yes as you can see
from the dramatic Shadows I did this
early in the morning which is not common
for me right I'm normally not up and
working until the cracken noon but
anyway once we have our chicken cut up
we will transfer that into a food
processor along with the rest of our
nugget
ingredients which will include some
breadcrumb some salt of course we'll
also do some freshly ground black pepper
a little bit of pea which could be
regular or
smoked and then I think we definitely
want a little bit of cayenne because
bang
bang and then we'll finish up with some
garlic powder as well as a little
drizzle of oil just for a little extra
richness and to help keep our nuggets
moist and tender and that's it we'll pop
on the lid and puls this on and off
until our chicken ground as finely as we
want which for me is not going to be
super
fine okay if you want these closer to a
fast food nugget which is basically a
piece of fried chicken loaf you'll
probably want to grind this a little
smoother but personally this is what I'm
after okay a pretty small grind but it's
definitely not puree and that's it once
our nugget base has been blit
we can go ahead and scoop equal siiz
portions onto a sheep pan and I'm
thinking a couple tablespoons is just
about the perfect size although
obviously that's something you can
adjust depending whether you want Little
Adorable nuggets or even bigger more
Bodacious nuggets and other than the
frying time the procedure will be
exactly the same so you go ahead and
make the call I mean you are after all
the Pistol Pete of portioning your
ground meat and speaking of balls
instead of forming nuggets which is is
what we're going to do next you could
actually serve these as fried meatballs
which I think would also be very well
received but anyway once portion we will
wrap those up and pop them in the fridge
so they're nicely chilled and easier to
work with when we coat them with our
starch which is going to be nothing more
than some corn starch mixed together
with some sulfurizing flour or just
regular flour with a little bit of
baking powder in there and if you go
that route we'll explain that in the
ritten recipe in any event we'll mix
that very thoroughly in a bag and we
will pull out our soon to be nuggets and
what we'll do is quickly form these in
the balls by first wetting our fingers a
little bit so the meat doesn't stick oh
yeah as you well know damp hands make
smooth balls and what we'll do is toss
five or six in at a time and then we'll
shake them and toss them around until
they're well coated before shaking off
the excess and returning them back to
the
pan and now the recipe it's going to say
you're going to get 24 nuggets out of
this batch but as you can see I got
23 so if you want 24 make them a little
smaller and then what we're going to do
once all those have been dredged is
shape those into nuggets which of course
depending on where you eat them will
vary in size and shape but for me I kind
of go with a flat oval but hey if you
prefer a little bit of a pointier nugget
that is not going to bother me and then
what I like to do once all these are
coated is pop them back in the fridge
which I do uncovered but you can cover
them if you want
and I like to leave them in there for a
couple hours to really give that starch
on the surface time to adhere but if
you're starving you can pretty much fry
these up anytime you want and while
those are chilling we should go ahead
and make our bang bang sauce which
starts with some mayonnaise to which we
will add some honey and once we do some
sweet we will add some heat in the form
of some shirata hot sauce and I like to
add a lot but of course that's going to
be to taste just like the honey is and
then for my version we'll also add some
some rice vinegar as well as some soy
sauce plus a little bit of sesame oil
and then last but not least a little bit
of ground San peppercorn which is
totally optional but highly
recommended and that's it will give this
a thorough whisking until it's all
combined at which point will give it a
taste and adjust with more sweet or in
my case more heat and that's it once
that's tasting exactly how we want we
will simply refrigerate that until
needed
and then as far as how to cook the
Nuggets I'm actually going to shallow
fry these in vegetable oil over about
medium high heat although I should
mention for the full chicken nugget
effect they're supposed to be deep fried
but this really does work out almost
exactly the same and please keep in mind
these are going to get tossed with our
bang bang sauce so they're not going to
stay super crispy anyway and what we'll
do is cook that first side for a couple
minutes or until we've achieved a nice
golden brown at which point we'll flip
them over and give the other side a
couple minutes
and if you are doing these in batches or
doing a whole bunch you can just keep
the ones you fried in a warm oven until
they're all finished which is what I did
while I fried the other half of the
batch and that's it once fried we can
transfer those into a mixing bowl and
we'll toss in some freshly sliced green
onions and we'll pour over a couple nice
ladles of our bang bang sauce or just
enough to coat and then we can serve the
rest
alongside and that's it we'll toss and
stir those until they're coated and by
the way the recipe is going to make make
lots of extra sauce which is nice since
that stuff's gray down like a thousand
other things and then once our nuggets
have been saued we'll go ahead and play
up and once I had those piled up I gave
them one more drizzle of shirata before
I finished up with some more sliced
green onions and that's it what I'm
calling bang bang chicken nuggets are
ready to enjoy so I grabbed a fork and
stabbed a nugget and went in for the
official bite and that my friends if
you're a fan of sweet and spicy sauces
like I am is going to be an incredibly
delicious bite of food and I enjoy that
whole sweet heat thing on pretty much
anything but when we're talking about a
homemade chicken nugget that's been
fried up to have that nice crispy
exterior which holds on to our sauce so
perfectly we produce something extra
extra special and because I didn't puree
the meat these do have a texture
reminiscent of a meatball or maybe like
a dumpling filling which totally works
for me oh and fun fact people assume the
bang bang refers to the spiciness of the
sock
but it actually doesn't right the
