Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 4
Crack the eggs into a second shallow bowl and beat them lightly with a fork.
Step 5
In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly.
Step 6
Coat each piece of chicken by first dredging it in the flour mixture, then dipping it into the beaten eggs, and finally rolling it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is fully coated.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds, the oil is ready.
Step 8
Carefully place a few chicken nuggets into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the nuggets using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the garlic chicken nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup.
