Keep a bowl with flour ready. In another bowl, beat an egg. In another bowl, add the breadcrumbs, chilli powder, black pepper powder and salt and mix to combine
Shape the chicken mixture into small portions and shape them into nuggets, Dip each piece in flour, then egg and then in the seasoned breadcrumbs
