2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp salt

Method
Step 1. Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into 3 separate bowls. Add the chilli powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt to the flour and mix through.
Step 2. Coat the chicken in flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs. Place onto a tray.
Step 3. Heat the oil in a pot. Fry the chicken nuggets for 3-4 minutes in batches and drain on paper towel. Season with salt.

Notes
Test the readiness of the oil by dipping the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil. When it bubbles, it is ready for frying. If you have a thermometer, heat the oil to 160C.
