Instructions

Prepare Chicken Nuggets:
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
- Coat each piece of chicken in flour, dip in egg, and roll in breadcrumbs.
Cook Chicken Nuggets:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Fry the nuggets until golden brown or bake them on a lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare Fries:
- Soak potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat dry thoroughly.
- Toss in cornstarch (if using) and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry in hot oil until crispy or bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve Together:
- Pair your freshly made nuggets and fries with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

For a healthier option, use an air fryer instead of deep-frying.

Experiment with different seasonings for the breading, such as cayenne pepper or Italian herbs.

Double fry the potatoes for maximum crispiness if cooking them traditionally.
