| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 lb | Chicken breasts or thighs |
| Peanut oil, enough to cover chicken pieces | |
| Wash | |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1/2 cup | Milk |
| Breading | |
| 3/8 cup | Flour |
| 3/8 cup | Breadcrumbs, processed very fine |
| 1/2 tbsp | Powdered sugar |
| 1 tsp | Salt, kosher |
| 1/2 tsp | White pepper |
| 1/4 tsp | Chili powder |
- Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces
- Whisk egg and milk together. Place chicken in wash and put in fridge for 15-20 minutes.
- Bring peanut oil in large dutch oven on stove to ~370F
- Whisk all breading ingredients together.
- In batches, without crowding the dutch oven, dredge chicken in breading and let dry for 1-2 minutes, and fry in oil 2 minutes per side or until slightly darker than golden brown.
- Set on plate and serve! Don't drain on paper towels, which will make the nuggets soggy.
