Nugget Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Nuggets

    Take each marinated chicken piece, coat it in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and then roll it in bread crumbs until fully coated. Place the breaded nuggets on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Nuggets

    Carefully add the breaded chicken nuggets into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chicken nuggets hot with your favorite house sauce.
