Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breasts
• 2 cups Goldfish crackers (cheddar flavor)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets, roughly 1.5-inch pieces.

Step 2

Place the Goldfish crackers in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a shallow bowl.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken pieces into the egg mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Press each piece of chicken into the crushed Goldfish crumbs, ensuring a thick, even coating.

Step 8

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 9

Carefully add the coated chicken nuggets to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the nuggets are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Transfer the cooked nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
