1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2
Set Up Breading Stations
In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, place the bread crumbs.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumbs.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.
5
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with a side of fries.
