Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Step 4
In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it evenly, and shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
Dip the floured chicken pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 7
Finally, roll the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Set the coated pieces on a plate or tray.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Fry the chicken nuggets in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the nuggets are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 10
Transfer the fried nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, honey mustard, or ranch.
