3
Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, making sure they are well covered.
4
Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
5
In a gallon-sized ziplock bag, mix the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and then add the chicken pieces to the ziplock bag.
7
Seal the bag and shake thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
8
In a large cast iron skillet or frying pan, pour peanut oil to a depth of 2 inches.
9
Heat the oil to 350°F over medium-high heat.
10
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
11
Fry the chicken nuggets, turning once halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
12
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve the crispy Southern-style chicken nuggets hot and enjoy!
