Chef Patrick's Comment
* Je vous ai conseillé ce vinaigre a la piperade(vinaigre, piment ,oignon, ail, et pomme) élaboré a la Vinaigrerie Saint Jacques installé a Mauléon Licharre en plein pays basque, par un maître en la matière mon ami Jean Philippe Lanouguére si vous passez par là venez de ma part et surtout n'hésitez pas a le visiter juste un top.

Frequently asked questions
Can I replace beer with another liquid in the batter?
Yes, sparkling water works well and creates bubbles too. Avoid wine or cider, too sweet. Beer remains best as it aerates the batter without darkening it.
Why fry at 160°C exactly and not hotter?
At 160°C, the batter cooks gently and crisps without leaving the chicken raw inside. Higher temps burn the exterior before the meat cooks through. Use a thermometer, it's critical.
Can I prepare the nuggets several hours ahead?
Prep everything in advance except frying: marinate chicken, cover batter, chill cream sauce. Fry 30 minutes before serving. Reheating makes the batter soggy.
