    1. W/Salaam. Nuggets are normally best served freshly fried but you can fry and freeze, just make sure to allow them to cool sufficiently and wrap them well. When ready to serve, let the come to room temperature then bake them in the oven to warm them up and get the crust crisp again.

  1. Looks great..But i am short of breadcrumbs at the moment.. Is there any alternative for breadcrumbs ?! Thanks..

  2. You can use flour seasoned with a bit of salt, pepper and a couple of pinches of baking powder. Mix well and use in place of breadcrumbs.

  3. Can we refregerate? For how many days i can refregerate? Will there be any provlem coz in this recipe u have raw egg..

  4. After dipping in egg and frying you can refrigerate for a few days or freeze for up to a month.

    1. (Problem* sorry spelling mistake…)

      can i refrigerate before frying?..after dipping in egg and rolling in to crumbs?

      1. Sure you can, but do not refrigerate for longer than a few hours otherwise the crumbs will end up getting soggy and they will absorb too much oil during frying.

  5. Can I use chicken mince instead of chicken cubes ,and instead of yogurt can I use whipping cream

  8. Assalamualikum,
    Assalamualikum,

    I wanted to know if we can freeze the nuggets or not and I just read the above comments and in that you said that we can fry the nuggets and then freeze them. Can we freeze them before frying, just as we buy frozen from the market?

    1. W/Salaam, have personally
      W/Salaam, have personally never tried freezing the nuggets before frying but it should be fine. Just do not allow them to thaw, fry them directly from the freezer.

  9. dear fauzia can u plz tell me
