1
Prepare Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into small chunks (about 2-3 cm) and place them in a food processor. Blend until the chicken is finely minced but not pureed.
2
Season the Mixture
Transfer the minced chicken into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.
3
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three separate shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
4
Form Nuggets
Take a small amount of the chicken mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and shape it into a nugget form. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.
5
Bread the Nuggets
Coat each nugget first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well covered.
6
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles immediately.
7
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully add the breaded nuggets to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8
Serve
Allow the nuggets to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauces.
