Bread the Chicken
Take each piece of chicken, first coat it in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is fully covered.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, it’s ready.

Fry the Nuggets
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
