Cooking Steps

• Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
• Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
• Set Up Dredging Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs with baking powder.
• Dredge Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into flour, coating it well. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
• Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
• Fry Nuggets: Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
• Serve Warm: Allow the nuggets to cool slightly before serving.
