Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Chop the chicken breast into small pieces and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Nuggets

    Take each piece of marinated chicken, dip it into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken pieces. 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 place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your house sauce.
