The Ultimate Crispy Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients List

• vegetable oil for frying

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 6 tablespoons garlic salt

• 3 tablespoons ground black pepper

• 4 large eggs, beaten

• 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into small chunks

Instructions

Start by assembling all the ingredients. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat about 1 inch of oil to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for frying.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, garlic salt, and pepper. Dip the chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a plate.

Cook the chicken in batches, frying until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center.

Use an instant-read thermometer to check the center of the chicken, ensuring it reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Serve and enjoy!
