Marinate the chicken pieces with the spices and set aside till you work on the coating.
In a bowl stir together all the dry ingredients and set aside. Next whisk the eggs and set aside.
Take a gallon size zip-top bag and add the nuggets and whipped eggs and coat the nuggets completely. Next, add the dry ingredients and ensure all the nuggets are coated.
If you are freezing them uncooked, set them in one layer on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes before putting them in a freezer-friendly zip-top bag. This helps them from sticking together.
To Shallow Fry
If you are frying them immediately, heat some neutral oil ( about 3 tablespoons if you want to shallow fry ) in a cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan and work in batches.
Fry the nuggets 3-4 minutes on each side and drain on a paper lined plate.
Repeat till all the nuggets are done.
To Air Fry
You can air fry them as well. Put them in your air fryer tray in a single layer, spray with oil, and follow your air fryer directions for chicken.
Halfway through flip the nuggets and spray with another coating of oil. Continue frying till ready.
To Bake
Preheat oven to 375ºF/191ºC and lay parchment on a baking sheet. Lay the coated chicken nuggets flay 1/2 inch apart. Spray the nuggets with oil and then flip and spray again. Bake for 20 minutes and then flip to the other side and bake for another 5-7 minutes. The nuggets are done when golden and at least 165ºF internal temperature.
Enjoy warm with your condiment of choice.
Notes
I often use refined coconut oil as it is a cheaper option to avocado oil and has a high smoke point.
