They're fried. (My son works there.)

The next question would be.

What fat do they use and temp and how long do they fry for?

I go for more simple.

Flour, pepper, egg, milk & chicken. (though I have been frying in beef dripping for flavour).
No need for salt.


Flour & add pepper to taste.
coat my chicken in the flour.
Make batter use flour, egg & milk. Coat the chicken in the batter and straight into the fry.

Why do you pound the chicken pieces? I quite like the big chunky breast. (though if I have thigh as well that goes in as well). Often use turkey If I have that.

Used other cuts of meat as well, like pheasant. But then add garlic, etc. to the batter and have it with sweet potatoes & rosemary oven roast chips & pea puree.
Before anyone say its waste of pheasant. It fried normally it dries out very quickly. So by battering I keep the juices in, while keeping the meat tender.

I'll ask him later. He had an overnight shift last night, so he's asleep at the moment.

Everything is timed, right down to how long they have to assemble a burger!

Towser, Please check your PM, I could possibly get you some McDonald Nuggets before you found the frozen pack supplier.

hi, have you got a premier meat shop near to where you live, they have some that are mcdonalds you can tell by the shape and taste of them, like you i have 3 autistic sons and that is all two of them will eat throne eats nothing but streaky bacon, hope you have some luck finding them

Sainsburys 42 frozen nuggets for £3 is the best deal anywhere. Best quality (highest chicken percentage, lowest fat percentage) and British chicken. Very tasty too

My brother is Autistic. Thankfully he now eats quite a wide range of food and a lot of it is reasonably healthy but at one time he would only eat rice and chips so I know how difficult it can be.

This might sound odd but have you looked at Quorn 'chicken' nuggets? I often buy these and oven bake them and I often think they are so close to MCD nuggets. McDonalds use 70% sunflower oil mixed with 30% rapeseed oil (this is from a source which was written in 2010, it might have changed). I can't imagine being able to tell the difference if these were deep fried.

Sunflower oil, cooked from frozen at 180 degrees for 3 minutes. They float when cooked.

They probably come from 3663, they supply loads of fast food chains. McDonald's nuggets are frozen but pre-cooked so only need a blast in the fryer.
