Chicken Nugget Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Chicken Nuggets
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-2 inches in size. This helps the chicken cook evenly and makes it easier for kids to eat.

Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in one, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and put the bread crumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third bowl. This will create a breading station for the chicken pieces.

Coat the Chicken
Take each piece of chicken, dip it into the flour to coat, then into the whisked eggs, and finally into the seasoned bread crumbs. Make sure each piece is well coated, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere well.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, about 1/2 inch deep. Heat the oil until it shimmers but does not smoke.

Fry the Nuggets
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
