Instructions

Place chicken pieces in a bowl with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken piece first in the egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry chicken nuggets in batches for 4–5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove nuggets and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the buttermilk overnight.
Bake or air fry for a healthier alternative.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour to make it gluten-free.
