🧂 Ingredients

  • 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko (for extra crunch)

  • Vegetable oil for frying


👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cut the Chicken
Slice the chicken into small nugget-sized cubes or into longer strips if making tenders.

Step 2: Set Up the Breading Stations

  • Bowl 1: Mix flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  • Bowl 2: Beat the eggs.

  • Bowl 3: Add breadcrumbs or panko.

Step 3: Bread the Chicken
Dip each chicken piece into the flour mix, then egg, then coat fully with breadcrumbs. Press gently to help the coating stick.

Step 4: Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F). Make sure there’s enough oil to submerge the chicken halfway.

Step 5: Fry the Chicken
Fry the chicken in small batches for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding.

Step 6: Drain and Serve
Place fried chicken on paper towels to absorb extra oil. Serve hot with dips like:

  • Ketchup

  • Barbecue sauce

  • Honey mustard

  • Garlic mayo

  • Ranch dressing
