In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lightly oil your hands and shape the chicken mixture into nugget-sized pieces. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Gradually whisk in the water until a smooth batter forms.
Heat the frying oil in a deep pan or pot. Dip each shaped nugget into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
Carefully drop the battered nuggets into the hot oil and fry until they are cooked through and golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the nuggets from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Cook it hands-free.
