Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Bread the Chicken
Take each piece of marinated chicken, coat it in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated for an even crunch.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a deep-fry thermometer or by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Fry the Nuggets
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken nuggets and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
