Method

Nuggets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and add the bread crumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Fry the Fries

    Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the drained potato strips in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
