Begin by cutting the chicken breast into pieces, then use a meat mallet to pound it until it reaches a rough paste consistency.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Lightly oil your hands with olive oil and shape the mixture into nugget forms.
Prepare a dry mix by combining flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch, then coat each nugget in this mixture, shaking off any excess.
Place the coated nuggets in the freezer for 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, gradually whisk the remaining dry mix with cold water until you achieve a thick, smooth batter.
Remove the nuggets from the freezer and dip each one first in the dry mix, then into the wet batter to ensure they are well coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the nuggets until they turn a beautiful golden color and become crispy all around.
