1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3
Coat the Chicken
Take a piece of chicken, dip it into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all chicken pieces.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.
5
Fry the Nuggets
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken nuggets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
