Ingredients

Chicken Nuggets

Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.

2. Set up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt in the third bowl.

3. Bread the Chicken

Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well coated.

4. Heat the Oil

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

5. Fry the Nuggets

Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

6. Drain and Serve

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