1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Season the Chicken
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the chicken pieces. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
3
Set Up Breading Station
In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs. This will be your breading station.

4
Bread the Chicken Nuggets
Take each piece of seasoned chicken, dredge it in flour, shaking off excess, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is fully coated.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.
6
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully place the breaded chicken nuggets into the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally for even cooking.
7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
