Cooking Instructions:

Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches in size.

Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for added flavor.

Set up a breading station by placing the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and the breadcrumbs in a third bowl. This will help streamline the breading process.

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, making sure it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour before dipping it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Next, roll the chicken pieces in the breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Repeat this process until all chicken pieces are coated.

In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles and bubbles, it's ready.

Carefully add the breaded chicken bites to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.

Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

For best results, verify that the oil is at the right temperature before frying; too low and the chicken will absorb too much oil, leading to sogginess, while too high can burn the coating before the chicken is cooked through.

Additionally, feel free to experiment with different spices in the breading for unique flavors or try baking the chicken bites at 400°F for a healthier option—just spray them with a little cooking oil and bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.

Enjoy your homemade chicken bites!
