Description
Crispy Chicken Nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal that everyone will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is well coated.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of your favorite dried herbs (like oregano or thyme) to the flour mixture.
- For a healthier option, bake the nuggets at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
