4 Servings

700 g chicken breast fillet150 g all-purpose flour3 pcs large eggs200 g breadcrumbs5 g salt2 g ground black pepper3 g ground paprika500 ml sunflower oil for frying

Steps

Prepare and Season

Cut the chicken breast fillet into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm (1 inch). In a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then mix thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated.

Prepare Breading Station

Set up three deep plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Lightly season the beaten eggs with salt.

Bread the Chicken

Dredge each seasoned chicken piece first in the flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.

Fry the Nuggets

Heat enough sunflower oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat (approx. 170-180°C / 340-350°F). Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve

Serve the hot, crispy chicken nuggets immediately with a fresh salad, french fries, or rice, and your favorite dipping sauce.

Extra Tips

► For even crispier nuggets, double-bread the chicken pieces: flour, egg, breadcrumbs, then egg again and breadcrumbs.

► Don't overcrowd the oil while frying; cook the nuggets in batches to ensure even browning.

► Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, or garlic sauce.
