Set up three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of bread crumbs and all the seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder).

Coat the Chicken
Take each piece of chicken and coat it in flour first, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll the chicken in the seasoned bread crumbs until well covered.
Frying the Chicken Bites
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

Fry the Bites
Carefully add the breaded chicken bites to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 4-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway for even cooking.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
