Method

Chicken Nuggets

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, whisk the egg with milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

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

    Fry Nuggets

    Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

    Remove fries from the oil, drain on paper towels, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
