<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Start by marinating the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and white vinegar to create a homemade buttermilk. Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, powdered icing sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your dry mix for coating the chicken.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
After the chicken has marinated, remove it from the fridge. One by one, take the chicken pieces and dredge them in the dry mix, ensuring they are fully coated.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Heat a generous amount of peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a piece of bread browns in 60 seconds.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked inside. You might need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for a couple of minutes.
