How does Sam’s cook their chicken nuggets?

Answered by John Hunt

At Sam’s, we pride ourselves on serving delicious chicken nuggets that are sure to please any crowd. When it comes to cooking our nuggets, we offer three convenient methods: conventional oven, microwave, and deep fryer. Each method has its own advantages, so you can choose the one that suits your preference and available time.

1. Conventional Oven:
To cook our chicken nuggets in a conventional oven, simply preheat the oven to the recommended temperature (usually around 400°F or 200°C) and follow these steps:
– Place the desired amount of nuggets on a baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
– Bake the nuggets for about 11-13 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
– Remember to flip the nuggets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Cooking our nuggets in the oven allows for a slightly healthier option as it requires less oil compared to deep frying. The oven also provides a consistent heat distribution, resulting in evenly cooked nuggets.

2. Microwave:
If you’re short on time, the microwave is a quick and convenient option to cook our chicken nuggets. Here’s how you can do it:
– Place the desired amount of nuggets on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
– Microwave the nuggets on high power for 1-3 ½ minutes, depending on your microwave’s wattage and the quantity of nuggets.
– It’s important to keep an eye on the nuggets while microwaving to avoid overcooking. Flip them halfway through the cooking process to ensure even heating.

While microwaving may not result in the same level of crispiness as the oven or deep frying method, it offers a fast and hassle-free way to enjoy our delicious nuggets.

3. Deep Fryer:
For those who crave a restaurant-style crunch, deep frying our chicken nuggets is the way to go. Here’s how you can achieve that crispy texture:
– Preheat your deep fryer to the recommended temperature (usually around 350°F or 175°C).
– Carefully place the desired amount of nuggets into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
– Cook the nuggets for approximately 2 ½-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
– Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the cooked nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Deep frying provides that irresistible crispy exterior that many people love. However, it requires more oil and may not be the healthiest option.

Cooking our Sam’s chicken nuggets is a simple and versatile process. Whether you choose to use the conventional oven, microwave, or deep fryer, you can expect tasty and satisfying results. So go ahead and prepare these crowd-pleasing nuggets to enjoy with your family and friends.
