Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  3. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. 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.
