In a separate shallow bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk-egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry chicken nuggets in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Remove nuggets with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
