Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes, and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken piece into the egg mixture, letting any excess liquid drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken piece in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
Repeat the process for all chicken pieces and place them on a plate or baking tray.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil's readiness by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the chicken bites in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken bites from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Crunchy Chicken Bites warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
