1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips or bite-sized pieces for nuggets.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side for strips or 3-4 minutes for nuggets.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
