Equipment

  • 1 Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast (diced)
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Italian Style Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 Pinch Cinnamon Powder

Instructions
 

For the Chicken Nuggets:

  • Start out by marinating the chicken with the seasonings - salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and cinnamon powder.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs. Then keep your breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. You should now have 3 different bowls for the chicken, the eggs, and the breadcrumbs.
  • Next, we'll start frying! Add the vegetable oil to a deep saute pan. The oil should cover approximately half of an average bite-size chicken piece from your batch. Allow the oil to heat until it is VERY hot.
  • Now to start adding the chicken, first grab a piece of chicken, coat it in the egg, then breadcrumbs, then into the oil. Repeat until you've filled the pan but be sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Give the chicken pieces about 3 minutes to brown on each side. For a total of 6 minutes overall. Once a piece is done, remove it to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Repeat, in batches, until all the chicken is fried.
  • Serve immediately with sauce or add to your favorite recipe!!
