Chicken Nuggets

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1 tsp Granulated garlic
  • 1 tbsp Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Place the flour in a resealable plastic bag and season with the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken pieces in the bag with the flour and toss to coat (work in batches). Transfer the breadcrumbs to a rimmed plate, season with salt and pepper and set aside. 
  • Whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Remove a piece of chicken from the flour, dip in the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, gently pressing the crumbs into the chicken, and set on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken. 
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the pan (work in batches if needed) and brown on each side, about 8 minutes total. Use a spatula to transfer the chicken nuggets to a paper-towel-lined plate. Salt while hot and serve.
