Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to your spice level.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. This will be your breading station.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each piece of seasoned chicken first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Nuggets

    Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of house sauces.
