45 minutes
Chicken nuggets with teriyaki sauce are a delightful combination of crispy breading and rich Eastern flavor. Originating from American cuisine, these nuggets gained popularity due to their versatility and appetizing texture. Tender chicken fillet is first marinated in aromatic teriyaki sauce with spices, then coated in a crispy breading of breadcrumbs, flour, and eggs. Fried to a golden crust, they achieve a perfectly juicy taste inside and a crunchy surface outside. The finishing touch is the final coating with teriyaki sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds that add a light nutty note. These nuggets are perfect for a light snack or a full dinner; they can be served with vegetables or rice, creating a harmonious dish with vibrant flavor.
