Step 1
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat it over high heat. The oil should reach 360 to 375 degrees F when it is ready.

Step 2
Add the chicken nuggets and fry them for three minutes. Turn them over and cook them for two more minutes. If the nuggets are frozen, cook them for four minutes on each side. The nuggets are ready when the breading turns golden brown.

Step 3
Remove the chicken nuggets from the hot oil using a fryer skimmer and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
