How to
- First, to make the chicken nuggets, place chicken thighs, frozen fries, and a small white onion into a food processor. Add four tablespoons of PitmasterX chicken seasoning and blitz until finely ground. Shape the mixture into nuggets and spread them on a tray. Freeze the nuggets until they are solid, ensuring they hold their shape well during cooking.
- While the nuggets are setting in the freezer, start on your homemade BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine half a cup of ketchup, a quarter cup of apple juice, a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, a tablespoon of PitmasterX classic BBQ seasoning, half a tablespoon of ground black pepper, three tablespoons of brown sugar, and a tablespoon of honey. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer briefly until everything is well combined and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Once the sauce is ready and the chicken nuggets are fully frozen, prepare your barbecue for frying. Set a large pan over the fire and fill it with vegetable oil; heat until very hot. Fry the frozen chicken nuggets in batches if necessary, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the hot, crispy chicken nuggets with the cool, tangy BBQ sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious creation at your next BBQ feast!
