McDonald's Chicken McNuggets (Copycat)

Step 1: Beat the egg and then combine it with 1 cup water in a small, shallow bowl. Stir.

Step 2: Combine the flour, salt, MSG, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder in a one gallon size zip lock bag.

Step 3: Pound each of the breast filets with a mallet until about 1/4?inch thick. Trim each breast filet into bite sized pieces. Coat each piece with the flour mixture by shaking in the zip lock bag.

Step 4: Remove and dredge each nugget in the egg mixture, coating well. Then return each nugget to the flour/seasoning mixture. Shake to coat. Put nuggets, bag and all, in the freezer for at least an hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining egg mixture.

Step 5: After freezing, repeat the above coating process. Deep fry the McNuggets at 375F for 6-8 minutes or until browned and crispy. (cook only about 9 at a time.) Drain on brown paper bags (NEVER drain fried foods on paper towels unless you want them to be soft and soggy!).
