Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 Cups all-purpose flour
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) garlic salt
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) black pepper, ground
• 4 Large eggs, whisked
• 8 Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into small chunks

Steps

1. Prepare the Oil: Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains the correct temperature for optimal frying.
2. Season the Flour: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of garlic salt, and 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the seasoning.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, press each piece into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating. Shake off any excess flour and place the coated chicken pieces onto a plate.
4. Fry the Nuggets: Working in batches, carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). This should take about 4-5 minutes per batch.
5. Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy the crispy, flavorful delight!
