- 2. Set up your dredging station. Bowl #1 Flour (can season with salt and pepper) Bowl #2 One egg mixed with 6 Tbs of water Bowl #3 Breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, granulate garlic, parsley and dill
- 3. Preheat Deep non stick pan to 375 degrees ( I use my electric skillet but any large skillet will do). Drain chicken in a colander. Dip in flour, then egg wash then breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat with remaining chicken pieces
- 4. When oil is heated fry chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side till golden brown. I did this in two batches. Place first batch on paper towel to drain excess oil. Let chicken sit for about 5 minutes before serving....this helps to set the crust.

Tips:
- For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be sure to coat the chicken nuggets in the breadcrumb mixture evenly. This will help them to get crispy and golden brown.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken nuggets in the pan when frying them. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
These chicken nuggets with herb breading are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
