Crispy Chicken Bites Ingredients
Method
Crispy Chicken Bites Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches each). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 2
Set Up Breading Stations
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, whisk together the eggs and milk in the second, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in the third.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Fry the Chicken Bites
Carefully add the breaded chicken bites to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
