Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds (for wings)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together milk and egg.
- In a third shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, coating it evenly.
- Next, dip the floured chicken into the milk mixture, letting any excess drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the panko and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
- For the wings, place a few black sesame seeds on one side of each nugget, pressing them in slightly.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add chicken nuggets to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For crispier nuggets, double-coat them by dipping them in the milk mixture and then the panko mixture again.
- Adjust the heat of your oil as needed to maintain a consistent temperature.
- Get creative with your dipping sauces – ranch, BBQ, or honey mustard are great choices!
