Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Coating

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Next, dip the flour-coated chicken piece into the egg mixture.

Return the chicken to the flour mixture for a second coating, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to create a thick, crispy layer.

Step 3: Fry the Chicken Nuggets

In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the nuggets are golden brown and fully cooked.

Remove the nuggets from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Conclusion:

Serve these crispy chicken nuggets hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

Pair them with classic dipping sauces like ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce for a satisfying meal or snack.

These nuggets are not only delicious but also made from scratch, allowing you to control the flavors and ingredients.

Perfect for parties, family dinners, or just a treat, these chicken nuggets are a hit for all ages.

Enjoy the crunch and savor the flavor!
