How to Deep Fry Chicken Nuggets?

Chicken nuggets are popular among consumers because of their crispy exterior and tender interior. These crispy chicken nuggets are produced through deep-frying. So, how do you deep-fry chicken nuggets? To achieve large-scale production of deep-fried chicken nuggets, we usually recommend that our customers use a continuous frying machine.

Why can't traditional deep-frying methods be used?

Although traditional deep-frying methods are less expensive, the oil temperature fluctuates significantly, easily leading to uneven cooking of the chicken pieces. Furthermore, the frying time is difficult to control consistently, resulting in noticeable quality differences between different batches of product.

Continuous fryers: The ideal choice for batch frying chicken nuggets

To fry chicken nuggets in large batches while ensuring consistent product quality, a professional fryer is necessary. In practical applications, we typically recommend using a chicken nuggets frying machine.

1. Precise frying time control

This frying machine features a conveyor belt system that allows chicken nuggets to enter the frying area at a steady speed and complete the frying process within a set time. By adjusting the conveyor belt speed, the dwell time of the chicken nuggets in the frying oil can be controlled, ensuring that each piece achieves the same level of doneness and texture.

2. Stable and controllable oil temperature system

This machine is equipped with an automatic temperature control system that can stably control the oil temperature within the set range. It automatically heats when the oil temperature is below the set value and stops heating when it exceeds the set value.

3. Automated conveying, enhancing production efficiency

The equipment features a built-in conveyor belt system, which automatically handles the feeding, frying, and discharge of chicken pieces, significantly reducing manual labor.

Production process of fried chicken nuggets:

Chicken nuggets pretreatment: Cutting, marinating, coating with flour or batter.

Pre-forming and shaping: Ensuring relatively consistent size and thickness of chicken nuggets.

Automatic feeding: Chicken nuggets are evenly fed onto the fryer conveyor belt.

Frying: Frying is completed at a set temperature and time.

Automatic discharge: Chicken nuggets are automatically discharged after frying.

Post-processing: De-oiling, cooling, quick freezing or packaging (depending on the product type).

Although frying chicken nuggets is a simple process, it requires precise control of temperature, time, and production environment. If you encounter any problems during the production process, please feel free to contact us.
