Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until smooth.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of bread sizzles when dropped in.
  5. Fry the chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally.
  6. Remove the nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
