Instructions

Prepare the Seasoned Flour Mixture: In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Assemble Your Nugget Coating Station: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the breadcrumbs.
Heat the Oil for Frying: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle.
Fry to Golden Perfection: Carefully place the nuggets in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve: Remove nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives. Experiment with different breadcrumbs, such as crushed cornflakes for extra crunch.
