By michellecresta

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 2 lbs chicken breasts, about 4, boneless, skinless
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• peanut oil, for frying

Preparation

Step 1

Cube chicken into bite sized pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg and milk. Add the chicken to the egg mixture, stir to combine. Cover and marinate for 3-4 hours.
In a gallon sized ziplock bag, mix the flour, powdered sugar, and spices until well combined. Add the chicken pieces and shake well.
In a large cast iron skillet, or frying pan, pour 2 inches of peanut oil. Heat oil over medium-high heat.
When oil is hot, add battered chicken to the pan. Cook chicken in batches, turning once half way through, until nuggets are golden brown.
Drain chicken nuggets on a paper towel and serve.
