- While the chicken cools, whisk the eggs in a bowl with oregano and salt.
- Dip each piece of cooked chicken into the beaten egg mixture.
- Next, coat the chicken evenly in breadcrumbs, ensuring all sides are covered.
- Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a pot over high heat.
- Fry the breaded nuggets for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
