Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups bite-sized chicken pieces (boneless, skinless thighs recommended)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Cut and season the chicken, then dredge in flour mixture.
  • Fry chicken in hot oil until golden and cooked through; drain on paper towels.
