1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2
Set Up Breading Stations
Place the flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a third bowl.
3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the bread crumbs.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
5
Fry the Nuggets
Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
