1

Prepare the Chicken

Start by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. You can make them as large or small as you like, but remember, the bigger the nugget, the longer it'll take to cook.

2

Whisk Up the Dippin' Batter

In a bowl, whisk together an egg, a splash of milk, and your choice of seasonings. This is where you can get creative! Add some garlic powder, paprika, or even a pinch of cayenne for a kick. Feel free to experiment and find your perfect flavor combo!

3

Dip and Coat

Now it's time for the dipping fun! Take each piece of chicken and coat it in the whisked batter. Make sure it's fully covered from all angles. Once coated, place it on a plate or baking sheet.

4

Get 'Em Nice and Crispy

In a separate bowl, mix together breadcrumbs and your favorite seasonings. We like using a combination of panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness and some Italian seasoning for a flavor boost. Take each coated chicken nugget and roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.

5

Fry 'Em Up

Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Gently drop a few nuggets into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they're golden brown and perfectly crispy. Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6

Serve and Enjoy!

Once all the nuggets are cooked and drained, it's time to dive in! Serve them up with your favorite dipping sauce, like tangy BBQ, creamy ranch, or zesty honey mustard. These crispy Chicken Nugget Dippers are best enjoyed hot and fresh!
