Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko for extra crunch
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
  4. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  5. Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
