Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

1. Cut the chicken into small cubes.
2. Place the chicken cubes in a food processor along with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, paprika, egg, breadcrumbs, and flour.
3. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Shape the Nuggets:

1. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
2. Take small portions of the chicken mixture and shape them into nugget-sized pieces.

3. Coat the Nuggets:

1. Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
2. Coat each nugget in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then roll it in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

4. Fry the Nuggets:

1. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Fry the nuggets in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes).
3. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

5. Serve:

• Serve hot with ketchup, barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or any dip of your choice.

Tips:

• For extra crispiness, double-coat the nuggets by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
• You can bake the nuggets at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or air-fry them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes for a healthier option.
• Add grated cheese or herbs like parsley to the chicken mixture for added flavor.

Enjoy your crispy and juicy homemade chicken nuggets! 🍗✨
