Step by Step Method
Step 1
Have all your chicken pieces breaded and on a plate before starting to fry.
Step 2
In a bowl combine the ranch dressing mix with panko bread crumbs, cayenne, salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a second bowl whisk the egg. In a third bowl add in the flour.
Step 4
Firstly dredge the chicken cubes into flour, then into beaten egg (allowing excess to drip off) and lastly into the panko breadcrumb mixture.
Step 5
Pour oil into a heavy skillet to a depth of 2-inches, then heat to 360 degrees F.
Step 6
Fry the chicken nuggets in batches for about 5 minutes or until cooked through (these will not take long to cook).
