Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken:

• Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Set up the coating stations:

• In one bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

• In another bowl, beat the eggs.

• In a third bowl, keep the breadcrumbs.

3. Coat the chicken:

• Dip each chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat well with breadcrumbs.

4. Fry the nuggets:

• Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

• Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per batch).

• Drain on paper towels.

5. Serve:

• Serve hot with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce!

Optional:

• Bake instead of fry — place coated nuggets on a baking tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 mins, flipping halfway.

• Add grated cheese inside nuggets for a cheesy surprise!
