vegetable oil for frying
4 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons garlic salt
3 tablespoons ground black pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into small chunks

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients. Heat about 1 inch of cooking oil in a large skillet or saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, garlic salt, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into beaten eggs, then thoroughly coat each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any extra. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a plate.
Fry the chicken in batches in the hot oil until it turns golden brown and is cooked through.
Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful chicken nuggets!
