Chicken Nuggets
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
- 2
Prepare the Breading Stations
In one bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
