Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 ml Milk
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches in size.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to mix evenly.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
In a third shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Place the breaded chicken pieces on a plate or baking sheet while you finish breading the rest.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully fry the chicken nuggets in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the cooked nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard. Stir until the glaze is smooth and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked chicken nuggets to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey mustard glaze over the nuggets and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately while hot, with extra honey mustard sauce on the side if desired.
