Instructions:
-
Prepare Deep Fryer:
- Heat your deep fryer to 360°F (182°C). Make sure it’s ready for frying.
-
Prepare Chicken:
- Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
-
Soak Chicken:
- Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the milk over them. Allow the chicken to soak in the milk for a few minutes. This helps tenderize the meat and adds moisture.
-
Prepare Coating:
- In a separate large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with your desired seasonings. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or any other favorite seasoning blend to taste. Stir well to combine.
-
Coat Chicken:
- Take each piece of chicken from the milk and dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
-
Fry Chicken Nuggets:
- Carefully place about 12 coated chicken pieces into the preheated fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Fry the chicken at 360°F (182°C) for 6 to 9 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fully cooked through on the inside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the cooked nuggets from the fryer and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces until they are all cooked.
-
Serve:
- Once all the chicken nuggets are cooked and drained, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces. Sweet and sour sauce or honey mustard are popular choices that complement the crispy nuggets perfectly.
