ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Cut the chicken breast into approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) cubes or strips. In one bowl, mix the flour with salt, pepper, paprika powder, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, and in a third, pour the breadcrumbs.
Breading
First, coat the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the beaten eggs, and finally, thoroughly coat them in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered. Press the breading firmly to adhere well.
Frying
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat to about 170-180°C (340-350°F). Place the breaded chicken bites in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, until fully cooked through and crispy. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
Serve the crispy chicken bites immediately with a fresh salad, french fries, or rice, and your favorite dipping sauce.
Extra Tips
► For even crispier bites, you can double-bread them: flour, egg, breadcrumbs, then again egg and breadcrumbs.
► Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; cook the chicken bites in batches to ensure even browning.
► Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic sauce, ketchup, or sweet chili sauce.
