Fried Chicken Nuggets and Cutlets

Step 1

Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into nugget-sized pieces and thin cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Set up three shallow bowls: one with 1 cup flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1.5 cups breadcrumbs mixed with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp salt.

Step 3

Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture. Press crumbs on firmly.

Step 4

Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Fry chicken in batches without crowding, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 6

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
