Chicken Nuggets
These Chicken Nuggets consist of bite-sized pieces of boneless skinless chicken breast coated in a seasoned flour mixture and fried until golden and crispy. The coating includes garlic salt and coarse black pepper for flavor. Frying at 350°F crisps the outside while ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy inside, making them a straightforward and satisfying snack or meal addition.
