These scrumptious, homemade Crispy Chicken Bites, served with our lip-smacking Polynesian Sauce, will quickly become a family favorite. Golden, crispy, and irresistibly flavorful, these nuggets are delightfully easy to create in your own kitchen.
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together whole milk and egg. Add the chicken chunks and stir to coat evenly.
3
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, confectioners' sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped fresh thyme, Kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
4
Dip the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is well coated.
5
Allow the coated chicken to rest for 1-2 minutes while the oil heats.
6
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Remove chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve with Polynesian Sauce and enjoy!
