For extra crispy nuggets, double-dip the chicken: Dip in egg, then flour, then egg again, and finally back into the flour.
Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent throughout the frying process for even cooking. Adjust the heat as needed.
Experiment with different seasonings in the flour mixture, such as smoked paprika, onion powder, or cayenne pepper, to customize the flavor.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing.
