Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breast (or tenderloin)
- ½ cup flour (all purpose)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 ½ Cup breadcrumbs (or panko, seasoned)
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt, kosher
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instruction
- Place chicken in a bag or under plastic wrap and lightly pound with a mallet to an even thickness. Cut chicken into desired size.
- Create a breading station by placing each flour, breadcrumbs and egg mixture in shallow bowls. Season the breadcrumbs with salt, garlic powder and pepper.Dip each piece of chicken first in flour, then egg and then crumbs to completely coat.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Once oil comes up to 350°F start frying chicken in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.Cook 2-3 minutes per side. Check internal temperature with a quick-read thermometer and make sure chicken is cooked to 165°F.
- Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove cooked nuggets from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle a little salt over them if desired. Repeat with remaining chicken. Add more oil if needed in between batches.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
