Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, about 1-inch each.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then back into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the chicken nuggets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the chicken nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
