Tips for Perfect Corn Nuggets
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature (350°F) before frying to prevent the nuggets from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan; fry in batches if necessary to keep them crispy.
- Let the mixture rest for a few minutes after adding the cornmeal so it thickens, making it easier to form the nuggets.
