These crispy chicken bites are a delightful twist on classic chicken nuggets, offering a flavorful and crunchy experience.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure uniform sizes for even cooking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, water, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika to form a smooth batter.
For a thicker batter, add a bit more flour.
Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
Dip each chicken piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Shake off excess batter for a cleaner fry.
Fry the chicken pieces in batches for about 4 minutes or until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
Remove the chicken pieces and drain on paper towels.
Pat gently to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color.
