Chicken Nugget Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Take each piece of chicken, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Cook Nuggets

    Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the cooked nuggets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
