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.).
