Chicken Nuggets
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 inch each.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, prepare the breading station: one with all-purpose flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with bread crumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cooking
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the bread crumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
- 4
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- 5
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken nuggets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
