Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. There should be enough vegetable oil to almost completely cover the chicken pieces. If you have a deep saucepan with a small diameter, you can fry the nuggets in it. Place the prepared chicken pieces and deep-fry until golden brown. If the oil does not completely cover the chicken, like mine, then turn the pieces over to the other side and fry until golden brown.
