Steps:
- Split the chicken breasts in half down the center. Trim them neatly to remove peripheral membranes and bits of fat. Cut each breast half into six pieces of equal size.
- Put the egg, water, salt and pepper in a bowl and beat well to blend.
- Put the bread crumbs on a large platter. Add the sage, thyme, cumin and pepper, and blend well.
- Add the pieces of chicken to the egg mixture and toss to coat well. Drain off the excess. Transfer the chicken pieces to the bread-crumb mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Put the coated pieces in another dish, separating them so that they do not touch.
- Heat the oil for deep frying in a cast-iron skillet. There should be about 1 inch of oil. When hot (at 360 degrees) but not smoking, add about one-third of the chicken pieces. Do not overcrowd. Cook, stirring with a slotted or perforated spoon so that the pieces brown evenly. It will take about 3 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the nuggets to paper towels and drain.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Chicken: Select boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner option and consistent cooking. If using chicken tenders, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley provide a more vibrant flavor compared to dried herbs. Chop them finely to ensure even distribution.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with chicken nuggets as it will prevent even cooking. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Monitor the Cooking Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). This ensures that it is cooked thoroughly and safely.
- Serve with Your Favorite Dipping Sauce: Serve the herb-crusted chicken nuggets with your preferred dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
