Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken Breasts Cut into small nugget-sized pieces
  • 100 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs Beaten
  • 100 g Breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable Oil For frying

Instructions

  • Cut two chicken breasts into small nugget-sized pieces.
  • In a bowl, mix together 100g of plain flour, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of paprika, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
  • Beat two eggs in another bowl and place 100g of breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  • Dip each chicken piece first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat up enough vegetable oil in a large frying pan to cover the bottom by about 1 cm and wait until the oil is hot.
  • Add the coated chicken nuggets to the hot oil and cook for around 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon to drain off any excess oil.
  • Repeat the process until all the chicken nuggets are cooked.
  • Serve the chicken nuggets hot with your choice of dipping sauce (e.g. ketchup, BBQ sauce, honey mustard, etc.).
