Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken or Cauliflower

    If using chicken, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. If using cauliflower, break it into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Nuggets

    Coat each piece of chicken or cauliflower in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated nuggets in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side).

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
