Preparation:
1) You can choose to use either breast meat or tenders. But if youre using tenders, you may wanna remove the white tendon that runs along it. If you've difficulty handling with paring knife, try cutting it off with a pair of scissors.
2) Use a meat 'hammer' to tenderize (pound) the meat.
Cut meat into nugget size & add pinch of salt & pepper for taste.
3) Set out 3 bowls. Place flour in one & beaten eggs in another. Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan & herbs in 3rd bowl.
4) Cover meat with flour, then dip in eggs & finally, roll in crumbs mixture.
Heat oil & melt margarine. Add meat when margarine begins to sizzle. Cook approx for 3 mins on one side or till golden brown & do the same for the other side.
5) Transfer nuggets onto plate. Remove pan from heat & add lemon juice. Stir to loosen brown bits on pan & let juice reduce. Drizzle over nuggets but take care not to overdo it or nuggets will not be crispy. Skewer the nuggets together with pineapple cubes & youve got your high-class Mac Donalds nuggets!
